All the confirmed Marvel Phase 6 release dates so far
Marvel's Phase 6 is still a little while away, but we have reason to get excited now as The Fantastic Four is set to start filming after Comic-Con this weekend.
The upcoming Marvel Studios panel, taking place on Saturday (July 27), should also include updates on other upcoming MCU movies, including the two planned Avengers movies.
Last year, Marvel shuffled its upcoming release calendar a couple of times as a result of the strikes in Hollywood delaying production.
As far as we know though, Phase 6 will still kick off with The Fantastic Four and end with the Avengers double-bill. But perhaps Marvel boss Kevin Feige has a surprise in store for us at Comic-Con.
So as we begin the long wait for it to start, here's everything you need to know about Phase 6.
Marvel Phase 6 release dates: What is the current Phase 6 timeline?
As mentioned above, there's been some shifting of the release dates and there's a lot of gaps still to be filled.
Right now, we don't know about any TV shows that are confirmed to be part of Phase 6, but we're sure there will be some.
Here's how the Phase 6 schedule looks as of July 25, 2024:
July 25, 2025 – The Fantastic Four
November 7, 2025 – Blade
May 1, 2026 – Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
May 7, 2027 – Avengers: Secret Wars
Blade was originally thought to be part of Phase 5, but now it's been moved back to November 2025, it's now part of Phase 6 assuming that The Fantastic Four is still the opening movie of Phase 6.
We are also assuming that Thunderbolts*, which has taken The Fantastic Four's release date of May 2, 2025, is back in Phase 5 as originally planned.
As mentioned, we don't have any confirmed TV shows in Phase 6 yet, but we know that a Vision TV show is coming with Paul Bettany reprising his role. It's set to be released in 2026 which would make it part of Phase 6.
We also know though that Disney has three 2026 release dates set for Untitled Marvel movies on February 13, July 24 and November 6. It's not clear what those movies are yet though.
Marvel Phase 6 movies: Which movies are in Phase 6?
On the movies side, The Fantastic Four will start the movies side of the climactic phase of the Multiverse Saga.
We know precious little about the long-awaited movie, except that it won't be an origin story. As it won't be an origin story, could we see the Fantastic Four pop up in another project before their solo movie?
At least we have the cast now: Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch.
The movie will also star Julia Garner as Silver Surfer and Ralph Ineson as Galactus, alongside John Malkovich, Paul Walter Hauser and Natasha Lyonne in unconfirmed roles.
Blade could well follow in November 2025, but we know relatively little about the MCU reboot, other than Mahershala Ali is still taking on the lead role and the cast also includes Mia Goth and Delroy Lindo.
In June 2024, it was confirmed that the movie is searching for its third director after Yann Demange left the project.
An epic Avengers double-bill that was announced at Comic-Con 2022 – Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars – will end Phase 6.
The next Avengers movie was originally called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but is now untitled after Marvel dropped Jonathan Majors following a trial conviction for assault and harassment, and we don't know if Kang will be recast yet.
Secret Wars is the huge comic book crossover event that many fans expected Phase 4 to lay the groundwork for. If it follows the comics, it could well act as a soft reboot for the entire MCU, but we'll have to wait and see.
Excitingly, it seems as though Joe and Anthony Russo are returning to direct the double-bill, but it has yet to be officially confirmed. If it gets announced anywhere, you can probably bet on it being at Comic-Con.
Marvel Phase 6 TV shows: Which TV shows are in Phase 6?
Right now, we don't know any of the TV shows that will be arriving on Disney+ during Phase 6, so your guess is as good as ours.
There are various TV shows in development, including a Wakanda series said to explore the origin story of Okoye (Danai Gurira), a Nova series and the Vision show that we previously mentioned.
All of these could arrive in Phase 6, and we could also see second seasons of any of the shows that have already debuted.
You can catch up on almost of the MCU to date on Disney+.
