| Two new ''Avengers'' films, ''The Kang Dynasty'' and ''Secret Wars'', were announced in July 2022 as the conclusion of the MCU's [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Six|Phase Six]] and "[[The Multiverse Saga]]". Waldron joined the film as writer that October. The Russo brothers, who had previously expressed interest in adapting the ''Secret Wars'' comics, were announced as directors along with McFeely as writer in July 2024, when ''The Kang Dynasty'' was retitled ''Doomsday'' and the casting of Downey as [[Victor von Doom (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Doctor Doom]] was revealed. Filming is scheduled to begin in mid-2026 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England.
| | In September 2024, three new ''Avengers'' films were announced as part of Phase Three of the MCU, with ''Avengers: Forever'' positioned as the concluding chapter of a storyline that began in the post-credits scene of ''Deadpool & Wolverine'' (2024). Goodwin, the lead creative behind the MCU, admitted that the franchise had lacked a “proper” starting point, and stated that ''Forever'' would serve to resolve many lingering narrative threads. The film’s release date was announced in May 2025, with principal photography expected to begin in March 2028. |

| ''Avengers: Secret Wars'' is scheduled to be released on May 7, 2027, as the final film of Phase Six of the MCU. | |
