Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 movies face a dynamic shift in their release schedule due to pandemic
Damn COVID
Understandably, the Coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic has been having a huge bearing on the world right now, particularly the film industry, that has seen summer blockbusters release dates and rollout campaigns being pushed back up to a year or more. Alas, not even Disney is immune from the setback.
Even as Black Widow gets pushed back from its original release date of May 1st, Marvel Studios has followed that with news that their entire roster for Phase 4 has been pushed back as well.
The Eternals will be gracing cinemas come February 12, 2021, which will be followed by Black Widow which will premiere November 6, 2021.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has now taken the release day slot previously occupied by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – which is May 7, 2021.
As for the Doctor Strange sequel – directed by Sam Raimi, will take up the release date that was meant for Thor: Love and Thunder; the release date for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness now stands at November 5, 2021.
Thor: Love and Thunder will take up the release schedule of a recently announced untitled Marvel project, which is February 18, 2022. The release date for the untitled Marvel project is notably absent altogether in the the new slew of release date updates.
Captain Marvel 2 will now hit theaters come July 8, 2022.
Black Panther 2 continues to hold its previously announced date of May 6, 2022.
