According to multiple insiders, the cameras won't start to roll on 2027's
only Marvel movie until next January. X/Twitter user Apocalyptic Horseman,
who has a very reliable track record when it comes to breaking comic book movie-specific news, was the first industry insider to warn fans to brace themselves for a filming delay announcement. Other leakers with more spotty track records, including DanielRPK and Alex P , quickly jumped on the bandwagon to say they'd heard the same. I heard Secret Wars filming was delayed to January 2027 https://t.co/vBkMgPvexV October 1, 2026 In a
follow-up post, Apocalyptic Horseman expanded on what they'd heard to say
that a release date delay was not inevitable. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

However, according to the same leaker, filming wouldn't likely wrap until
late April/early May next year, meaning post-production would have to be completed in a seven to eight month timeframe if Secret Wars is to make its current December 17, 2027 launch date . With reshoots on its forebear Avengers: Doomsday being prioritized ahead of this film's impending December 18, 2026 release, I get the feeling that Secret Wars ' shooting schedule and launch date will be pushed back.

I've approached Marvel and Disney for comment on this rumor, and I'll update this article if I receive a response.

Diego Comic-Con 2026 and the films and shows it could talk about Why an Avengers: Secret Wars delay would be really bad news for Marvel Avengers: Secret Wars is set to wrap up the Marvel Multiverse Saga (Image credit:
Marvel Studios) If the rumors are true, Secret Wars wouldn't be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) movie or Disney+ show to suffer a
production and/or release date delay. Indeed, myriad other projects from the comic book giant have endured similar problems, especially in recent years.

Ordinarily, production and/or launch delays wouldn't be a bad thing for Marvel. Sure, fans have been disappointed to learn about such issues.
However, if it means that a production's cast and crew aren't being run into the ground, and forced to crunch, to get it over the line to meet a set release deadline, you won't hear me or many others complaining.

That said, any delay to the sixth Avengers flick would be problematic for two major reasons.

For starters, pushing Secret Wars out of its late 2027 release slot would be
a huge blow. Not only would Marvel miss out on being the biggest movie of
next year's holiday season, but it would also only be the third time in the comic titan's history that it hasn't released a single movie in a calendar year the other instances being 2009 and 2020. Then there's the inevitable knock-on effect that Secret Wars ' release delay would have on future MCU films.

If the final Marvel Phase 6 movie is pushed into 2028, fans would be forced
to wait around 18 months for the concluding chapter of the Marvel Multiverse Saga. That would have a significant impact on Ghost Rider , X-Men , and Black Panther 3 , all of which are lined up to premiere in 2028.

So, does Marvel give Avengers: Secret Wars the breathing room it deserves to bring the Multiverse Saga to a close, and move the aforementioned trio into 2029, thereby delaying the star of MCU 2.0? Or, does it only allow fans to take stock of Secret Wars and the last 20 years of MCU storytelling for a few months before officially kickstarting Marvel Phase 7 in late 2028?

Admittedly, all of these 'what if?' scenarios are based on some online conjecture that Marvel and Disney are yet to officially comment on, so your guess is as good as mine. If Secret Wars has suffered production and release setbacks, though, I'm sure we'll get a proper announcement sometime soon.
