Marvel is set to close out 2021 with two big releases with Eternals and Spider-Man: No Way Home. With the production of more Marvel projects either ending or still filming, it looks like the studio is shifting the release of some of its upcoming titles to both give those productions the time and space they need, but also to kick off next summer.
Subsequently, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be moving from its original March 25, 2022 release date to starting the summer box office season May 6th. This shift will have a domino effect to the rest of the MCU upcoming film lineup with Thor: Love and Thunder moving to a July 8, 2022 release date.
Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which is currently filming in Atlanta, will move to November 11, 2022. It will be released a week after Warner Brothers and DC Comics The Flash premieres in theaters. This also means that Nia DaCosta’s The Marvels will be moving to a new release dat of February 17, 2023. The Marvels is currently still in production with Brie Larson returning as Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris returning as Monica Rambeau.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is also currently in production and its new theatrical release date will be July 28, 2023. The only Marvel film in production that hasn’t seen its release date changed so far is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 which is set to be released May 5, 2023.
