Reports: 'Avengers: Secret Wars' is rumored to have a long run time

As reported by Jeff Sneider, the 'Avengers: Secret Wars' runtime is a massive five hours. The reported plan is to divide the story across two movies. The source now describes it as a giant five-hour movie with a year-long intermission. This indicates that its current slated date of May 7, 2027, will be quickly followed by Avengers: Secret Wars (Part 2) in 2028. The makers would also quickly follow 'Avengers 5', which may no longer be called 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty' and is slated to release on May 1, 2026. An official statement has not been given by Marvel Studios yet.



Avengers: Secret Wars' 2027 release date is only doubtful, with earlier industry conditions already resulting in its pushback from 2026. One of the biggest factors currently affecting Secret Wars is the recasting of Jonathan Majors, who played the important MCU antagonist, Kang the Conqueror. Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment on December 18, 2023, before being summarily fired by Marvel. While John Boyega's latest comments didn't leave much room for optimism, The InSneider also debunked any suggestions that Will Smith was in line for the role, calling them "Utter nonsense" in a recent X post.

A CBR feature argues Marvel's post-credit scene seemingly confirms a major crossover between the two biggest superhero teams. 'Loki' writer Michael Waldron will write both 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty' and 'Secret Wars'. 'Avengers: Secret Wars' will hit the big screen on May 7, 2027.
