Another year-long MCU movie drought is coming

While waiting for the next theatrical release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, coming a year since the release of the previous title The Fantastic Four: First Steps, there will be another year-long break in between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

In the lead up to Spider-Man there is Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and The Punisher special presentation. And in the wait for Secret Wars, there will be 3rd seasons for Daredevil: Born Again, X-Men ‘97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Simple-Accountant-242025-10-01 16:40

Nah it increases the hyped for the next movie.

AChineseSpyBalloon2025-10-01 16:41

Doomsday to Secret Wars is going to feel like a long, long time.

memsterboi1232025-10-01 18:25

It better open with that low key

mvrander2025-10-01 19:16

Infinity War to End Game was the same gap wasn't it?

randmperson22025-10-01 19:48

It was, but they did Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel in between.

mvrander2025-10-01 19:55

Good shout. I remember the wait for end game then the rush from the Whatever it takes trailer coming out

MisterWoodster2025-10-02 12:17

Which was a touch annoying because it took all the suspense away from Tony being stuck in space to just casually strutting along next to the gang by the end of the trailer, deffo shoulda cropped him out.

Antrikshy2025-10-03 01:42

Endgame marketing was so hype.

eaguayo2025-10-01 21:07

If they wanted to make bigger stakes movie for Antman like they did for Quantamania, they should've done it there at the second movie since it takes place right after endgame. I will have loved the first act in Antman and the Wasp to be more relaxed and simple until the snap happens at the end. Maybe not that, but something to make it act as a bridge to Endgame and Scott being the last hope with the Pym particles while keeping it a heist movie. Then have the third one be more street level as a break after Endgame instead of trying to set up the next Thanos.

YourInMySwamp2025-10-02 04:04

I remember people really liking that we got a simple movie like Antman and the Wasp following Infinity War. It was a nice change of pace with all the crazy shit we just saw, and then the PCS got us even *more* hyped

eaguayo2025-10-02 06:15

And honestly me too. Mire reason they should have made the third one to be simple too . Movies like Dr Strange and Thor could deal with bigger stakes, but it will have been nice if the Antman movies were more relaxing and lower stakes compared to the other MCU movies

bees_on_acid2025-10-02 00:06

We were spoiled lol

Meizas2025-10-02 05:45

I kind of forgot Captain Marvel was a post infinity war movie

demonoddy2025-10-01 21:37

Yes but there was 2 movies in between

Specific_Valuable_122025-10-01 20:23

Especially because between F4 and BND there's 3 MCU projects but with Doomsday to Secret Wars, only DD S3 is MCU. X-Men 97 is amazing and YFNSM is pretty good, but they aren't really in the main MCU. Looks like I'll finally be catching up on all the Defenders and other Marvel TV series during that wait

Ordinary-Chain-80472025-10-01 21:59

Isn’t vision quest coming out in that timeframe tho?

reuxin2025-10-02 00:03

I think it’s slated before Doomsday.

AmaterasuWolf212025-10-02 03:46

People already complained that AntMan2 and Captain Marvel felt like filler and that was in the MCU's prime

Ordinary-Chain-80472025-10-02 04:28

I think I was the only one who actually enjoyed Ant man 2

wintermute_132025-10-02 07:31

I loved it.

oneyone2025-10-01 16:41

People keep saying they want less movies a year coming from Marvel so here you go

Miserable-Theory-7462025-10-01 18:49

Personally, I don't mind. I might even watch phase 4 and 5 movies again. Too many in such a short time I feel like I've forgotten most of the movies and characters.

OnlinePosterPerson2025-10-01 20:39

There’s some gems to go back to.

I’m looking at you Shang Chi and the Eternals

taquitosmixtape2025-10-01 20:43

I feel most people will lose interest with only one thing a year. We may have gotten too many over the Covid period, but something in between like 2 a year with maybe a show or special connected feature. Having nothing for such a long period of time, people begin to care less imo.

ghostie_19982025-10-02 02:23

Bro 1 movie a year is PLENTY do y'all not understand how long this shit takes? Especially to make it as good as everyone wants it to be?

There is usually a 2-4 year gap between most 10/10 video game #2, movie #2, etc.. the longer, the better.. usually

Thedarklordphantom2025-10-02 20:27

Not when you have as many characters with individual stories though look what’s going on with shang chi 2 its already been 4 years

SeekerVash2025-10-02 02:56

>I feel most people will lose interest with only one thing a year.

It was quite a bit more between Deadpools and look how that went. Zootopia 2 is like a decade between, Avatar was more than a decade between 1 and 2, it was decades between Beetlejeuse 1 and 2, it was multiple decades between Star Wars OT and Prequels.

That won't be a problem.

Sir__Will2025-10-01 21:05

And I hate the people who said that. And even most of them probably didn't mean this few.

Bearjupiter2025-10-02 05:53

But look at the quality of movies these last 5 years? Most haven’t been that great

Burger_Soup2025-10-01 17:18

So it's confirmed there will be no movies between the two Avengers movies?

Madman_19922025-10-01 17:32

It got replaced with the Simpson movie

Burger_Soup2025-10-01 17:45

I hope the movie has only changed its date

YourInMySwamp2025-10-02 04:09

There is *absolutely* no way that we have a movie coming out in a year and a half with absolutely no news on it. We would know by now about a script, directors/writers being attached, casting, filming locations, etc.

It was ridiculous anybody *ever* thought a Marvel film was going to be taking that slot.

BigTimeSuperhero962025-10-01 19:08

One of those sentences you never thought you would hear

Notoriously_So2025-10-01 23:21

![gif](giphy|7A4zkWeMXlZqgnTKtJ|downsized)

BigTimeSuperhero962025-10-01 19:10

There will be Beyond the Spider verse, obviously not MCU but still something inbetween

L00ps_Ahoy2025-10-01 20:11

Shhh! Every time someone says the name of that film, another artist on the soundtrack has their dark secret revealed and half the animation team gets laid off. It's cursed.

You just delayed it another year.

Askefyr2025-10-02 02:14

Beyond the Spider Verse has taken up the mantle as the new Silksong now that Silksong is out

lckyguardian2025-10-02 13:35

I have not played either Hollow Knight. Would you recommend?

MightyIrish2025-10-01 17:21

I'll take quality over quantity any day

weiga2025-10-01 18:02

I want quality and quantity

zurktheman2025-10-01 17:26

Like the incredibly painful year we waited between Infinity War and Endgame. The anticipation was real!

CactusCustard2025-10-01 17:52

At least we had captain marvel then

ihs25ysf2025-10-01 18:04

And Antman 2 too

![gif](giphy|VIybTqiAz8E5W)

quakeroatsboatsman2025-10-01 21:36

I don't think you get the jist of hide and seek

Fares265972025-10-01 17:36

This should be a good thing. You keep having the same kind of cuisine day after day and the taste of it grows stale. I want to feel the hunger for it, although with the Disney+ projects in between, I'm not sure if I'm gonna feel it.

relientkenny2025-10-01 17:42

the gap is great cause the anticipation when the movie drops is gonna be insane

MIAxPaperPlanes2025-10-01 17:43

Daredevil BA Season 2 will carry me

Working_Original_2002025-10-01 18:03

And season 3 haha

SomewhereChillin2025-10-01 17:45

We asked for this when we complained about quantity over quality lol so buckle up

Romnonaldao2025-10-01 17:55

You mean time for a full MCU rewatch

Bosa_McKittle2025-10-01 18:06

This community is comical at times. First its they release too many movies per year and there is Superhero Fatigue and now there is too much time between movies and there is Superhero withdrawal.

Otherwise-Nobody-1272025-10-01 18:31

I can wait a while. This is better then 3 series and 4.movies a year.

OShaunesssy2025-10-01 18:46

Good.

We should be left wanting more, not bogged down by what feels like "required viewing."

GenGaara252025-10-01 18:55

Good. This year I felt like every time I blinked and there was a new marketing campaign being shoved in my face relentlessly. I think about half the total YouTube ads I've seen this year have been Cap 4/Thunderbolts/F4 back to back to back for like 7 months. I welcome some respite.

Coccolillo2025-10-01 19:06

I see their choice, they literally cannot “afford” those two to flop - any kind of movie in between which would not be a super hit would jeopardize secret wars. However, we have so so many open points / stories that will never see an ending.

j3ffUrZ2025-10-01 19:22

Rather have a handful of good movies than a bunch of mid things, anyway.

ArcherAprilPikeKirk2025-10-01 20:30

Honestly this came be a good thing. They have plenty of time to work out any issues, and solidify the CGI rather than rushing through

Boodger2025-10-01 21:24

Excellent news TBH. This will result in higher quality products that have more attention, love, and time to cook. Better VFX, hopefully less rushed writing. And they won't waste good character stories trying to set up the end of the multiverse saga. I have enjoyed the multiverse stuff personally, but it is time for it to end, and I want them to just get on with it already.

BrotherBodhi2025-10-01 21:45

You call it a drought but I think the average viewer is still burnt out by their previous rapid release schedule

IgnatiusD2472025-10-02 11:42

Yep. The average viewers ruined it all for us real dedicated and loyal Marvel fans. I knew this day would come...

Although they produced a lot of shit at times, all the rare in-between gems are gone now. I actually loved the Multiverse of Madness, Wakanda Forever, etc.

Age of Ultron was hated when it came out, and now everyone praises it as a top five.

APlanetWithANorth2025-10-01 22:37

Good, I need to catch up

Designer-Draw2025-10-01 22:51

I enjoyed only having one MCU movie in 2024, so I'm totally cool with this break. When there were fewer MCU movies in the Phase One and Two days, it felt more special to me like an event that only happened once or twice a year. I look forward to that again.

Johnny_Topside-592025-10-01 22:53

Oh no! How will we ever survive?... Honestly this is a good thing. It's a good time to branch out and watch other things.

Turbulent-Agent96342025-10-01 23:47

sharkykid2025-10-02 00:44

For the best

ballinb0ss2025-10-02 01:05

I am thrilled honestly. A few good or great movies in a row is enough to make me care again. Then take another year off after Secret Wars and hit us hard with Strange 3, new Wolverine, Blade and Armor Wars.

electriclightthemoon2025-10-02 01:41

The space between Doomsday and Secret Wars is fine, we already had that with Infinity War and Endgame.

SnooTomatoes47342025-10-02 01:53

I mean ppl didn’t want homework right

Freefarm1012025-10-02 02:03

Its fine DCU is rocking and rolling now as well.

tepenrod2025-10-02 02:11

There’s some Disney + content coming right? Wonder man, Daredevil season 2, maybe Vision Quest is in there? That should potentially help not feel like a drought.

RegrettableDeed2025-10-02 02:12

This is great. Im glad that we have some time to breathe between projects. We dont need a new Marvel thing every month anymore.

Greedy_Astronomer8372025-10-02 02:32

Trying to get that anticipation bubbling.

p_yth2025-10-02 02:49

But when your thirsty then it tastes better

MarvelLover1002025-10-02 03:18

I’d rather this than a drop in quality tbh

robertluke2025-10-02 03:25

Superhero movies sequels used to be three years apart.

RandomBloke20212025-10-02 03:42

Quality > Quantity

leo_outlander2025-10-02 03:44

I think this is good considering the Marvel movie burnout for fans. Take a breather, give good content and surely every one of these will be a box office hit

Aromatic_Tomorrow4062025-10-02 04:07

Doesn't Wonderman come out in December?

drnprz2025-10-02 04:12

quality is better than quantity

Armandonerd2025-10-02 04:24

But there's MCU shows next year!

Daredevil born again season 2 And vision quest

ddanuu2025-10-02 05:41

Good. That’s how it should be

Meizas2025-10-02 05:45

I still don't understand why Wonder Man, of all potential projects, is the one in the middle of the content drought.

I'm hoping Vision Quest ties the Wanda/Agatha/Vision/Wiccan/Death storyline together and into Secret Wars and it isn't just a silly filler show.

Bearjupiter2025-10-02 05:51

This is a good thing!!!!

Super_Research_97312025-10-02 06:01

I would’ve loved for another MCU movie to come before Secret Wars as a bridge between both Avengers films. And while DS3 was never confirmed, it seemed the most likely scenario but at this rate, we’ll just see where we go from here

PapaPatchesxd2025-10-02 06:38

I would rather wait, and have it be better and more fleshed out, then have it rushed and be a shit movie.

Vizard152025-10-02 06:38

Chance for me to catch up on MCU TV Series. Starting with Echo.

agent_mobius2025-10-02 07:47

Everyone would prefer quality over rushed projects. Marvel TV series after Loki are not good and we are all feeling the Marvel saturation

tellmethatstoryagain2025-10-02 07:55

Great! Not a good idea to push out “product” unless you have a terrific product to sell.

The chain should be: 1. great idea 2. great script. 3. casting. 4. announce the film.

As opposed to:
Decide what film you want to push and give it a release date and THEN try to make a good one. Do reshoots until it’s vaguely satisfactory. “Fix it in post.”

unlostaprilseventh2025-10-02 07:59

I think this is a good idea personally.

Allows people to go "wait...I havent seen a marvel movie in awhile...might check it out".

Especially if the last film built some goodwill.

pantless_2025-10-02 09:56

Good.

patch_e_behr2025-10-02 10:53

Good. I prefer a long break to an onslaught of mid-range pish we're all expected to keep up with

illucio2025-10-02 13:00

If I remember correctly there is one untitled MCU movie thats supposed to be released between Doomsday and Secret Wars.

(I can see it being a Young Avengers movie. If they don't do that movie now, they might has well never had bothered introducing them throughout the movies and TV shows.

I remember hearing rumors of a Scarlet Witch movie as well. But I can see her returning and getting her movie during the Mutant Saga).

Beyond the Spiderverse also has a targeted 2027 release year.

VisionQuest and WonderMan shows will be released on Disney+

Blade is in development hell for whatever reason.

And I know people at Marvel REALLY want to do a Nova movie / TV show.

weedlefetus2025-10-02 14:23

Yeah if they take their time and make quality content again this is the right move. Pumping out 1-2 good movies a year is a lot better than pumping out 4 trash films.

marvelcomics222025-10-02 14:40

If you like DC, Man Of Tomorrow is happening,

CisWhiteMaleBee2025-10-02 14:46

Good. We were getting spoiled and it started affecting the quality of the projects

tommykaye2025-10-02 14:51

Y’all gotta make a choice. You get mad at a year between releases. You get burnt out at 3 months between releases.

rdldr12025-10-02 15:51

If we aren't going out to watch these movies in the theater and the movie bombs -- then this is what we deserve. Thunderbolts deserved better. The Marvels deserved better.
