The Future of the Avengers Franchise: Rumors, Speculations, and Potential Storylines
The future of the Avengers franchise is a hot topic of discussion following the upcoming releases of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Directed by the Russo Brothers, Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in just over a year, with the sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, following in 2027.
According to scooper Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus, Marvel Studios is already planning the next Avengers storyline. Rumors suggest that the next cosmic storyline could involve a team-up film tied to Judgement Day, featuring the Eternals, the Celestials, and the Horde. Another potential route could focus on a smaller-scale story with Annihilus and the Annihilation Wave as the main antagonists, with a possible introduction in an upcoming Disney+ project.
While these rumors are intriguing, it's important to note that Marvel has not officially announced plans for another Avengers movie post-Secret Wars. Speculation about Annihilus making his MCU debut has been circulating, with fans hoping for an adaptation of the "Annihilation" crossover event, but no official announcements have been made.
Fans can look forward to the release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027. Stay tuned for more updates on the future of the Avengers franchise.
