Phases

Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a group of American superhero films and television series produced by Marvel Studios based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The MCU is the shared universe in which all of the films and series are set. The phase includes television series produced by Marvel Studios and Marvel Studios Animation for the streaming service Disney+, as well as a television special marketed as a "Marvel Studios Special Presentation". The phase began with the film The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July 2025 and is set to end with the film Avengers: Secret Wars in December 2027. Phases Four, Five, and Six make up "The Multiverse Saga" storyline.

Kevin Feige is producing every film in the phase, with Amy Pascal also producing Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)—a co-production between Marvel Studios and Columbia Pictures—and directors Anthony and Joe Russo also producing the crossover films Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Secret Wars. The films star Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic in First Steps and Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man in Brand New Day. Many actors from previous Marvel projects return for Doomsday and Secret Wars. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is distributing the films except for Brand New Day, which is being released by Sony Pictures Releasing.

The phase's series are released under different labels: "Marvel Animation" for the animated series; "Marvel Spotlight" for the more standalone series Wonder Man (2026); and "Marvel Television" for other live-action series. The television series star ensemble casts for the animated Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies (both 2025), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams / Wonder Man in Wonder Man, Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil in the second and third seasons of Daredevil: Born Again (2026–27), Paul Bettany as Vision in VisionQuest (2026), and Hudson Thames as Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the second season of the animated Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (2026).

In addition to the feature films and television series, the phase also includes a television special: the untitled Punisher television special starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / Punisher. Some tie-in comic books are also included. Additionally, the second and third seasons of the Marvel Studios Animation series X-Men '97 are set to be released on Disney+ alongside Phase Six as part of the Multiverse Saga.
