Marvel Movies and TV Shows Confirmed for Release Through 2029

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has entered a period of recalibration. Following uneven box office returns for entries like The Marvels, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and Captain America: Brave New World, Marvel Studios has adjusted its release cadence. Even with billion-dollar hits like Deadpool & Wolverine and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the studio now spaces its premieres further apart.

In 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger outlined a strategy to reduce output and place greater emphasis on quality. That measured pace defines the upcoming theatrical and streaming calendar. Marvel Studios has projects mapped out through 2029, spanning team-ups, character reboots, and animated expansions. Here is every confirmed and in-development project heading to theaters and Disney Plus.

2026 Marvel Studios releases

VisionQuest

Release date: Oct. 14, 2026 on Disney Plus

James Spader returns as Ultron, Todd Stashwick plays the bounty hunter Paladin, and Ruaridh Mollica appears as Tommy Maximoff, also known as Thomas Shepherd and Speed. Faran Tahir reprises his role as Raza from the original 2008 Iron Man. The cast also features several artificial intelligence and mechanical figures, including T’Nia Miller as Jocasta, Emily Hampshire as EDITH, Orla Brady as FRIDAY, Henry Lewis as DUM-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, and James D’Arcy returning as JARVIS.

Avengers: Doomsday

During a Marvel Studios cast reveal livestream, the studio confirmed appearances from characters featured in Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and earlier 20th Century Fox X-Men releases. Teasers also confirmed Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers alongside Chris Hemsworth as Thor.
