More MCU Schedule Changes

Marvel and Sony have made additional changes to their movie release schedules.

• untitled Spider-Man threequel: July 16, 2021 → November 5, 2021
• Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: November 5, 2021 → March 25, 2022
• Thor: Love and Thunder: February 18, 2022 → February 11, 2022

Disney Updates Marvel Movie Schedule, Dates Captain Marvel 2

Disney has announced that Black Widow has been pushed back to November 6 of this years, instead of the originally-announced May date, as a result of the current pandemic. This knocks The Eternals off its release date, creating a domino effect. The Eternals will now be released on February 12, 2021, pushing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to May 7, which pushes Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to November 5, which in turns moves Thor: Love and the Thunder to February 18, 2022. Black Panther 2 is still on track for May 2022 and the sequel to Captain Marvel is now set for July 8, 2022 (taking over a July 29 untitled slot).

Black Widow Delayed

As part of efforts to limit the spread of coronavirus and deal with the resulting theater shutdowns, Disney has indefinitely delayed the release of more movies including Black Widow.

The New Mutants Delayed (Again)

As part of ongoing efforts to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus (aka COVID-19), Disney has delayed the releases of The New Mutants, Mulan, and something called Antlers until later this year. This is the latest impact the virus has had on the entertainment industry, as other film releases and conventions have already been postponed and production halted on some projects.

Tom Holland Returning for More MCU Movies

Sony and Marvel have announced that Tom Holland's Spider-Man will return for two more films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He will appear in an untitled solo film on July 16, 2021 and another unspecified film. Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige will produce the solo film, with Disney putting up 25% of the cost, in exchange for 25% of the profits. Pascal commented,

This is terrific. Peter Parker’s story took a dramatic turn in ‘Far From Home’ and I could not be happier we will all be working together as we see where his journey goes. This has been a winning partnership for the studios, the franchise and the fans and I’m overjoyed it will continue.
