With Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars delayed to December 18, 2026, and December 17, 2027, respectively, MCU fans are speculating about the untitled Marvel film originally scheduled for July 23, 2027.
If Marvel proceeds with this release slot, it would stand as the sole MCU installment between the two Avengers films, following Spider-Man: Brand New Day's premiere on July 31, 2026.
Fan theories abound regarding the mystery project. "Doctor Strange 3 seems the most plausible," one Redditor commented on r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers. "Though the MCU's X-Men could still happen, depending on how Fox's X-Men fare in Doomsday."
Many appear to favor Doctor Strange as the frontrunner. "Likely Doctor Strange 3 (though I'd prefer Shang-Chi 2)," tweeted one fan. Another speculated, "What if Doctor Strange III becomes World War Hulk?" Intriguing, but perhaps unrealistic.
"Doctor Strange 3 makes the most sense between Doomsday and Secret Wars. Blade's clearly delayed post-Secret Wars," argued a Reddit user. A rebuttal followed: "Black Panther 3 is likelier—Marvel and Coogler have openly discussed it. This should be his next project."
Several fans echoed that Black Panther 3 deserves more consideration, especially after Sinners' success. "Strange how everyone focuses on DS3, a film with no director," noted a commenter. "Meanwhile, Black Panther 3 is right there."
Multiple fans deemed BP3 a strong contender. "It's further along than anything else," remarked one. "My bets are on Black Panther 3 or Darkhorse Doctor Strange 3."
Another theorized, "Black Panther 3 could take the 2027 slot. Nate Moore mentioned producing it before leaving Marvel, and Denzel Washington hinted at involvement before rumors surfaced."
A counterpoint emerged: "Nate Moore already departed Marvel Studios—he's joining Survivor next season. He pledged to return for BP3, not stay until release."

Some still hold out hope for Blade, despite its indefinite delay despite Mahershala Ali's long-standing involvement. "Could Blade secretly have filmed?" mused one fan.
Others dismissed the idea: "Whatever fills this slot must bridge Doomsday and Secret Wars. Blade isn't—and shouldn't be—that film."
"Blade's unlikely," conceded a Twitter user, proposing alternatives. "Perhaps Young Avengers or Midnight Sons—the latter starring Blade and Ghost Rider on Battleworld."
Amusingly, some predict Sony's interference. "Sony will claim the date for Spider-Man: Brand New Day," insisted one. "Brand New Day will take that slot. Guaranteed."
