Avengers: Secret Wars Has 1 2027 MCU Prequel, & It’s The Last Release You’d Expect

The MCU has one other release in 2027 before Avengers: Secret Wars, and it’s quite possibly the last project you’d expect. The build-up for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars has effectively been ongoing for 6 years now, marking the longest distance between Avengers movies since the release of the original 2012 The Avengers.

With Avengers: Secret Wars‘ release date having been moved back to December 2027, the release currently sits apart from the majority of the upcoming MCU lineup as we know it. Interestingly, though, one other MCU release has currently been set up for 2027 before Secret Wars, and it’s not an installment you’d necessarily anticipate to be the MCU’s lead-in to the Avengers movie.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 3’s Release Sets It Up To Currently Be The MCU’s Last Release Before Avengers: Secret Wars

With Marvel’s mystery 2027 movie having been removed from the MCU release schedule, this currently means Daredevil: Born Again season 3 will be the last MCU release in the franchise’s slate before Avengers: Secret Wars debuts in December 2027 – making the third chapter of the show all the more key in terms of its placement in the release schedule.

Why Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 Releasing Just Before Avengers: Secret Wars Could Be Great For The MCU

It’s unlikely that Daredevil: Born Again season 3 will connect directly to Avengers: Secret Wars plot-wise, other than perhaps referencing any major Earth-wide developments that may have impacted the lives of New York’s heroes and civilians. That said, this isn’t strictly a bad thing, even if no other releases end up being announced to be between these two MCU installments.

With superhero fans consistently calling for more street-level stories, having projects like Daredevil: Born Again releasing throughout the more fantastical Multiverse Saga ensures these wishes can be met even as the main narrative of the MCU explores the exact opposite. Similarly, with some of the MCU’s more recent releases seeing some divided reception, this scheduling could be for the best.

If Daredevil: Born Again season 2 and 3 are able to live up to the high standard the first season and original show brought to screens – and thus gain critical praise – then season 3 can ensure that audience perspectives on what the MCU is capable of are positive going into Avengers: Secret Wars, which certainly wouldn’t hurt the film’s prospects.
