What Starts on August 27
The August 27 start date is firm, but Marvel has not released an episode schedule or identified the MCU moments Vellani and Alvarez will cover. Readers can watch on Disney+, watch on Marvel's YouTube channel or listen through their usual podcast service.
Two Hosts, One MCU Countdown
Vellani and Alvarez are the named hosts, and the show's subject is the MCU's screen history. The announcement does not identify a new comics storyline or game tie-in, so the first episode details remain open.
Avengers: Doomsday Is Still Set for December
Avengers: Doomsday remains scheduled for December 18, 2026. The new podcast adds a retrospective countdown around the film while leaving that theatrical date unchanged.
