Filming for 'Avengers: Secret Wars' Will Begin in February, Insider Says

According to insider DanielRPK, Marvel is reportedly set to begin filming Avengers: Secret Wars in February 2027.

However, there are no plans to delay the film, which is still scheduled for release in December 2027, leaving post-production with only 10 months to work on the production's special effects.

Unfortunately, we don't have any more information on the matter yet. It's worth remembering that Avengers: Doomsday underwent reshoots, and if Secret Wars goes through the same situation, post-production may be even tighter.
