Following a couple of years of more shuffling behind the scenes than I’ve ever seen, a new normal is emerging at Marvel Studios and it’s one that involves far fewer projects than fans are used to. However, it does make guessing a little easier which means the hypothetical calendars now return to having a .00001% chance of accuracy. So, for the first time in a long time…
Early March: Daredevil: Born Again Season 3
Marvel Television’s flagship streaming series will be back for a third season in 2027 and given Disney’s new preference for these projects to have an “annual cadence,” an early March release seems reasonable.
Writers have begun hashing out the scripts for the next installment in the streaming franchise with an eye on production getting underway in New York City in early 2026.
Summer: X-Men ’97 Season 3
Marvel’s streaming skipper Brad Winderbaum recently revealed that the studio’s animation division is hard at work on Season 3 of X-Men ’97, with animatics for almost the entire season already done. He’s also said the plan is for a new season of the series to stream “every year,” providing “something that people can rely on.” With Season 2 headed to D+ next summer, we’ll go with that window for Season 3 in 2027.
Fall: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 3
Like X-Men ’97, Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is being developed as a streaming staple. According to Winderbaum, “We will have a Spider-Man season every year if I have anything to say about it.” And he has a lot to say about it, so count on Season 3 in 2027.
Fall: Jessica Jones Project
Following her return as Jessica Jones in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, Krysten Ritter looks set to headline a new streaming project of her own. While it’s currently not clear if it would shape up as a Special Presentation or a fourth season of Jessica Jones, rumors indicate it is coming together relatively quickly. With it unclear what else, if anything, Marvel Television might be working on for release in 2027, a Jessica Jones project could pair nicely with Daredevil: Born Again. Alternatively, if the studio plans to end the Daredevil series after Season 3, Jessica Jones Season 4 might slide into that March slot on the calendar.
December 17: Avengers: Secret Wars
Outside of 2020, in which no theatrical projects were released by Marvel due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, there has only been one other instance of Marvel releasing only one MCU film in a calendar year: 2011 when Iron Man 2 flew solo. Now there will be another, as Avengers: Secret Wars, the final chapter in the Multiverse Saga, is the only movie on Marvel’s release calendar.
Marvel recently removed a second date from its slate, allowing The Simpsons 2 to slide into the July 23rd spot once set aside for an Untitled Marvel Studios film. While plenty of folks still believe the studio will split Secret Wars into two films, there’s been no indication of that yet, leaving it as the only MCU film of 2027.
