The effects of 2020 just won’t go away. (Cough-cough) Disney pushed back the release dates for five upcoming MCU movies. Three of them get later release dates and two are TBD.
The Good News
This year’s Eternals and Spider-Man: No Way Home keep their current release dates on November 5th and December 17, 2021 respectively.
Release Date: Musical Chairs Edition
Here’s what does change:
The World's Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to run & pee during a movie so you don't miss the best scenes.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Planned for March 2022, it now time-travels to May 6, 2022. I’m mean, it’s Dr. Strange. That’s his thing: time travel. Maybe we’re caught up in some sort of Strangian-loop and this movie will never be released.
Thor: Love and Thunder
Most recently planned for May 6th, Dr. Strange: MoM bumped Thor’s release date back to July 8, 2022.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
The game of “But wait, that was my release date” continues. BP:WF was scheduled for July 8th but Thor hammered them out of the way. Now BP:WF falls back to November 11, 2022.
The Marvels
There’s no room left in 2022 for new MCU movies so The Marvels slides to the first 2023 release on February 17.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Now planned for July 28, 2023.
Untitled and dateless
Two untitled Marvel movies originally set for 2023 have been pulled entirely from the calendar. The two untitled MCU movies that were pulled were scheduled for July 28 and October 6. These delays are reportedly due to production concerns and not box office results.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.

Damn it. Big sigh. Thanks for this update. I’m most bummed about Love and Thunder. I could use some goofy humor after these last two years. I’m also wondering, along these lines, if GotG vol 3 will EVER happen. I trust that the movies we’re seeing next will be important to the ongoing storyline…but I don’t want to see ‘new characters’ like with The Eternals and whatever. I want to catch up with my ‘friends’.
I also want to see what happens with the multiverse after the events in WandaVision and Loki. I know it’s still coming, but I feel like we’ve been waiting so long for these movies already.
In another note, I want to see how Black Panther 2 falls out with the T’Challa situation. I have theories. It’s a sad thing for everyone with Chadwick Boseman, but as the BP character and Wakanda are essential to the MCU, it’s hard to keep waiting when we know these movies are already in the can.
