Hey everyone. Welcome to MCU Fan Show episode 349. My name is Sean Gerber here to break down the news of Avengers Doomsday and Avengers Secret Wars, each being delayed

0:24.4

by about seven or closer to seven and a half months. Yes, the news came down the day before

0:31.8

this recording that Disney slash Marvel have punted each of those films. Avengers Doomsday is moving from May 1st,

0:40.2

2026 to December 18th, 20206, meaning we are no longer less than a year from seeing that film.
