Marvel Studios has confirmed a firm July 28, 2028 release date for its Ghost Rider film starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Shawn Levy. The movie slots into a three-film 2028 slate alongside X-Men on May 5 and Black Panther 3 on December 15, positioning all three as the post-Avengers: Secret Wars reset for the MCU.
Kevin Feige confirms Avengers: Secret Wars will be the sole MCU theatrical release in 2027, creating a 12-month gap after Avengers: Doomsday in December 2026. The Marvel Studios chief says the deliberate slowdown reflects a strategy to prioritize quality over quantity as the franchise builds toward its Phase Six conclusion.
Tom Holland hints at his involvement in upcoming Avengers films, subtly confirming Spider-Man's likely appearance in either Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars. Despite Marvel's efforts to keep details from him due to his history of spoilers, Holland's enthusiasm suggests a significant role. His appearance in Secret Wars seems assured, potentially reuniting him with other Spider-Men.
Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is finally getting a sequel, with director Destin Daniel Cretton confirming that the project is still in development. Despite a five-year wait, Cretton assures fans that the team is working to "honor" the first film's incredible reception. Simu Liu will reprise his role as Shang-Chi in December's Avengers: Doomsday before the solo sequel, now likely pushed to the MCU's next phase after 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars.
