“Marvel has removed an untitled film set for July 24, 2026 from their release calendar,” an X post from Discussing Film read.
“They will now release 3 films in 2026, including 2 untitled films in February and November with ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ in May.”
Many fans were quick to speculate which film had gotten the hook.
“I assume it will be Spiderman 4 and Doctor Strange 3, Or maybe Shang-Chi 2,” one user commented.
“There’s a chance that this might be Armor Wars,” a second person hypothesized.

Many on the social media site have speculated that the Disney-owned company axed the fourth installment of the Spider-man franchise due to negotiations with Sony.
Despite many wondering what films had been removed, some X users urged Marvel to use the gap to produce better-quality movies.
“Quality over quantity please Marvel,” one person said.
“This is really a good thing. Marvel should take a ‘less is more’ approach and focus on quality,” a second person said.

“Few pics equals better quality usually…good move I suppose,” one user wrote sarcastically.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Marvel for comment.
Marvel recently saw a huge surge in popularity after it was announced that 2024 Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the franchise.
Robert’s shocking return to the franchise – five years after his character died – was announced last month during San Diego Comic-Con.

Marvel’s phase five is in full swing. Below, find a complete list of every film that is currently slated to be released.
Venom: The Last Dance: October 25, 2024
Kraven The Hunter: December 13, 2024
Captain America: Brave New World: February 14, 2025

The Fantastic Four: First Steps: July 25, 2025

His return also comes after the MCU suffered a series of box-office flops including Eternals, Ant-Man: Quantumania and The Marvels.
Robert stepping into the villainous role also helps solve a major headache for Marvel’s higher-ups who were looking to bounce back after Jonathan Majors — who had been due to play major villain Kang — left the franchise after being convicted of domestic abuse.
The unveiling of Robert as Victor Von Doom was rather a dramatic affair.
Several robed and masked figures – Doctor Doom’s iconic look – took the stage during a panel at the beloved convention.
Robert, who stood out from the other Dooms in a lime green, hooded suit, and a plum shirt, removed his mask to thunderous applause.

“New mask, same task,” Robert said.
The beloved actor is not only appearing in Avengers: Doomsday but will also appear as the antagonist in Secret Wars – both of which will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.
