It took the Marvel Cinematic Universe a decade to go from Robert Downey Jr.'s debut as Tony Stark in 2008's Iron Man to his iconic sacrifice in 2018's Avengers: Endgame. Now, Marvel Studios' current plans only stretch up to 2026, which is when the Multiverse Saga is supposed to end with the premiere of Avengers: Secret Wars on May 1, 2026. But, if we believe the recent reports, this might not necessarily be the case.
According to Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, the likelihood of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty coming out on May 2, 2025 is very low, hinting that a delay announcement is imminent.
At this point, a delay is understandable, if not a given. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the entire world to come to a halt for the better part of the past three years. Not to mention, Marvel is just like every other studio in that it's at the mercy of the increased demand for the services of VFX houses. Finally, behind-the-scenes issues have plagued the multi-billion-dollar franchise including Jon Watts' departure from Fantastic Four and Blade losing its director.
