Marvel has hinted that the X-Men will make a comeback as well, establishing links to Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
It's interesting to note that Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday will both be released on December 18, 2026. Similar to the 2023 "Barbenheimer" phenomena, fans have already dubbed this cinematic confrontation "Dunesday."
Avengers: Doomsday, which unites several franchises (Avengers, Fantastic Four, Wakanda, X-Men), is positioned by Marvel as the next Endgame-level event.
One of the most talked-about turns in the MCU's history is Robert Downey Jr.'s comeback, this time as Doctor Doom rather than Iron Man.
Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027), which is anticipated to be the ultimate multiverse crossover, is directly preceded by the movie.
With a release date set for December 18, 2026, Avengers: Doomsday is poised to be Marvel's largest cinematic event since Endgame.
