As Marvel Studios looks to get back to quality over quantity, there's slim pickings for MCU fans over the next two years. Still, 2026 doesn't look too bad, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters in July, with Avengers: Doomsday following in December.

When it comes to 2027, we know the year will end with Avengers: Secret Wars, but the mystery Marvel Studios title coming to theaters on July 23 has remained a mystery to us. There's been plenty of speculation, with guesses ranging from Blade to Doctor Strange 3 and even The Fantastic Four 2.

Well, that untitled MCU movie has now been removed from the release calendar entirely.

The implication seems to be that we're only getting Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027 now, as that vacated slot has been taken by another long-awaited sequel: The Simpsons Movie 2!

The long-awaited follow-up to 2007's The Simpsons Movie arrives in theaters on July 23, 2027, and while we don't have any plot details, it's fitting that it's being released 20 years after the first time the iconic cartoon family first graced the big screen.

The Simpsons has been on the air since 1989, and is currently in its 37th season. While most fans seem to agree that the show isn't what it once was, its availability on Disney+ has helped the series retain its massive popularity across generations.

The Simpsons Movie opened to $74 million, and went on to make $183 million in the U.S. and $536 million worldwide. Disney is looking to monetise its small screen properties—hence Moana 2 and The Mandalorian and Grogu—so this news shouldn't come as a huge surprise.

The clock has been ticking on Marvel Studios having a movie ready to go for that summer 2027 release for a while, and it's probably for the best that the studio doesn't rush anything out. It's a missed trick in some ways; Captain Marvel, which was sandwiched between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, ended up rocketing to $1+ billion success in 2019.

However, if Avengers: Doomsday ends the way we think it will, with the creation of Battleworld, then a movie to bridge the gap between it and Secret Wars wouldn't make a ton of sense.

While Marvel Studios could still release something in 2027, we wouldn't bank on it. The Simpsons Movie 2 isn't the worst consolation prize, though, right? You can check out a teaser poster for that below.

That's not bad at all, loved the first Simpsons movie and although I don't watch the show anymore, still will check out the movie.

noname - 9/29/2025, 3:16 PM

@Kadara - The soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtracks ever. I've rewatched the credits to that film more than the film itself. Hans Zimmer's score is fantastic. I can actually hum the entire end credits from memory. lol

noname - 9/29/2025, 3:57 PM

@Kadara - I use to listen to this particular track all the time growing up on a website called "Grooveshark", which is no more. Brings back memories and how much I first fell in love with films. Felt like my only friend at that time.

The Simpsons Movie soundtrack is one no one EVER talks about. They ignore it. But I see it, Hans. I see what you did. And thank for it.

This little music cue with Bart and Homer together really gets me. So beautiful. And all for a gag lol

dragon316 - 9/29/2025, 4:00 PM

@Kadara - as much I love series simpsons and SpongeBob I can’t bring myself get series there’s many episodes and series same with one piece have almost over 300 episodes last I checked

noname - 9/29/2025, 4:19 PM

@dragon316 - just watch the earlier seasons of The Simpsons. I'd say like the first 3-7 you should be good.

noname - 9/29/2025, 3:13 PM

Man, a lot of people have exited this world waiting for this sequel. I don't know, man. 20 years is too long for me to care anymore.

mastakilla39 - 9/29/2025, 3:51 PM

@noname - I don't think Simpsons the movie was ever supposed to have a sequel. The movie was meant to be a celebration and closure for the people who've been watching it since 1989.

Everything after the movie is supposed to be for a new generation. To my knowledge there wasn't supposed to be anymore movies, guess Disney is desperate for some quick cash. Toy Story 5, Ratatouille 2, Incredibles 3, etc. weren't supposed to be made either....they could be as any sequel but they weren't supposed to...

dragon316 - 9/29/2025, 4:01 PM

@noname - will be as goood and successful as first one will older fans still go see it time will tell

noname - 9/29/2025, 4:02 PM

@mastakilla39 - Oh yeah, that's the other thing. Is this a genuine sequel or a Disney mandated sequel? Toy Story 4 was ATROCIOUS and an insult to life itself. I'm glad I slept during it and I barely remember the film. That way, I can pretend it doesn't exist.

I did the same thing with The Godfather Part 3. I just never saw it, so I can't be upset at Coppola. It ends with 2, as far as I'm concerned.

And Ratatouille 2? WHAT THE FUK? Is that real?!

Kiba - 9/29/2025, 3:16 PM

I love the The Simpsons a great deal, but nowadays, I don't really care for it. The voice actors have changed so much that the characters hardly sound like they originally did.

Julie Kavner's voice is on borrowed time. Not to mention them getting rid of Apu was one of the dumbest decisions.

Clintthahamster - 9/29/2025, 3:52 PM

@Kiba - Curious if you ever saw Hari Kondabolu's film "The Problem With Apu." He made a pretty strong case for how their various racial stereotypes (and yes, there were MANY examples as bad or worse than Apu) were actively harmful to the communities depicted, especially kids growing up during the height of the Simpsons cultural impact. Honestly, my main issue with the way they handled removing Apu from the show is the fact that they were still making the show by that point.

Kiba - 9/29/2025, 4:11 PM

@Clintthahamster - I didn’t finish it because, frankly, I found it ridiculous.

The only people offended by Apu are those who thrive on outrage and see racial issues in every tiny detail of media. If you’re going to cancel Apu, don’t be selective and go after all the other stereotypical characters in animation too. Token, Mr. Lu Kim, Mr. Nakiyama, Kahn Souphanousinphone, Cleveland Brown, Mort Goldman.

One person managed to undo all the goodwill built by a character who’s been around longer than most of the people complaining. Apu was a business owner, musician, former playboy, friend, family man, homeowner, and even a volunteer fireman. He was portrayed in a largely positive light.

The Problem with Apu was just shallow, clout-chasing nonsense.

noname - 9/29/2025, 4:24 PM

@Kiba - The funny thing about that documentary is that you NEVER heard from that Indian "comedian" again. Go figure, right? A guy who's job is to tell jokes being so offended by a cartoon turned out to not be funny himself.

Guy was a joke, and single handedly ruined a great character. All because of HIS misinterpretation. Narcissistic fool.

Nolanite - 9/29/2025, 3:19 PM

The fewer Emm she ewe projects the better.

We don't need more garbage 🗑️ coming out in theaters.

Nolanite out

KennKathleen - 9/29/2025, 3:23 PM

Definitely was supposed to be Captain MARVEL 3.

Ryguy88 - 9/29/2025, 4:00 PM

@KennKathleen - thats probably correct lmao!

Malatrova15 - 9/29/2025, 3:31 PM

Nothing to do whit the 100% tariff lol...MCU Is cooked

AnthonyVonGeek - 9/29/2025, 3:42 PM

I hope The Simpsons 2 is superior to first like Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Terminator 2 and The Dark Knight. Then again if it’s just half as good as the first I still won’t be disappointed.

Clintthahamster - 9/29/2025, 3:44 PM

Me every time they announce a new Simpsons thing.

grif - 9/29/2025, 3:47 PM

just read marge was killed off last season. couldnt care less. thats how much the simpsons means to people now. good luck with this

Ryguy88 - 9/29/2025, 3:58 PM

More time has passed between the Simpsons Movie 1 and 2 than had passed between the start of the Simpsons TV series and The Simpsons Movie 1.

TheVisionary25 - 9/29/2025, 4:03 PM

I couldn’t care less about the Simpsons personally but I’m not surprised they got rid of that July 2027 release date for Marvel since I don’t think it makes much sense to have a movie sandwiched between Doomsday & Secret Wars if the former ends with the creation of Battleworld so I’m cool with this decision.

As of now the only Marvel Studios projects for 2027 are Secret Wars aswell as likely YFNS S3 , X-Men 97 S3 and maybe DD:BA S3 (it will be interesting to see if they just continue on with their story , have it be on Battleworld ir just move it to 2028).

Anyway , 2026 as of now is shaping up to be a hell of a year for Marvel so can’t wait!!.

Thebronxknight - 9/29/2025, 4:08 PM

The simpsons are still pretty relevant. Older people might not watch them as much anymore but the kids do and love it. The movie will make money.
