It didnt take long however forSecret Warsto be pushed back until May 1, 2026.
Whats next to be pushed?
Surely, Marvel wouldnt push back its most anticipated upcoming project, especially afterSecret Wars delay… right?
But what benefits might there be to such a big decision?
Quality Over Quantity
Phase 4has been a rough spot in Marvel Studios legacy.
Its great how fans have gotten heaps of new MCU content recentlysadly, thats also a big con.
Well,the reception to most recent projects has been mixed, to say the least.
Nearly every Disney+ title has drastically shifting levels of quality throughout its episode count.
This follows in the wake ofBladelosing its director,Armor Warsshifting into a movie, andEchogetting a sizeable delay.
As the saying goes, quality over quantitythat should be the goal.
These delays will inevitably result in extra space and new release slots that need filling.
Another could be including Iron Lad, a younger version of Kang, in the inevitableYoung Avengersproject.
This is something that, ironically, only time can help alleviate.
The character absolutely needs to show up again before those crossovers.
Spideys story needs space to unfold and establish who he is after the traumatic events ofNo Way Home.
Spending More Time With Fresh Heroes
Some fans have admitted that Phase 4 feels rushed.
Marvel Studios is constantly throwing new characters into the mix and starting multiple new storylines.
However, it feels like audiences wont be getting nearly enough time with many of them.
There might not even be any form of the Avengers beforeThe Kang Dynastyarrives.
Another fantastic example would be the Young Avengers.
Currently, given how packed the MCU slate is, its hard to see the project releasing beforeSecret Wars.
When it comes to wrapping up an MCU Saga, the bigger, the better.
Yes, it could mean even an evenlonger wait for the nextAvengersfilm.
A big delay for the Multiverse Saga doesnt come without its cons, however.
The biggest of those is the ever-increasing wait for the X-Mens arrival in the MCU.
