Rumor: Marvel Studios' November 2026 Movie Is Now Expected To Be One Of These Two Sequels

Marvel Studios has two movies set for release between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The first is Spider-Man 4 on July 31, 2026, and while Blade was once a likely contender for the vacant November 2, 2026 slot, it remains stuck in development hell.
So, which MCU movie will drop next November? The prevailing theory is that both it and Spider-Man 4 will be set on "Battleworld," and The Cosmic Circus brings word today about the two top contenders.
"When speaking to sources, Marvel was eyeing the November 2026 film to be a sequel; the two options being Black Panther 3 and Shang-Chi 2, with Black Panther 3 being the more likely of the duo," the site reveals, acknowledging that "[things] could have changed."
Destin Daniel Cretton will be too busy working on Spider-Man 4 to helm the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sequel, so we're not exactly surprised to learn it's fallen to the wayside.
