In keeping with Selection, Marvel has lately up to date their launch date for Deadpool 3 from Might 24, 2024 to July 26, 2024 whereas bumping Captain America 4 from July 26, 2024 to February 14, 2025 (a Valentine’s Day movie?!). The information comes after SAG-AFTRA strike got here to an finish this week and Hollywood writers and actors can as soon as once more restart the initiatives that got here to a screeching halt this previous Summer time. Now that the smoke is cleared (for now) and everybody can get again to work, manufacturing begins and launch dates have been getting shuffled round as many anticipated they’d.
Selection stories:
Past Marvel, Disney has additionally delayed its upcoming prequel to its 2019 CGI remake of “The Lion King.” “Mufasa: The Lion King,” directed by Barry Jenkins, has moved from a July 5, 2024 date to Dec. 20, 2024. Moreover, the studio has vacated two different dates — July 25, 2025 and Nov. 7, 2025 — which it had planted flags on for unspecified options.
Whereas “Deadpool 3” nonetheless has a good quantity of manufacturing to finish, it’s notable that “Captain America: Courageous New World,” which is able to see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson tackle the Marvel mantle, had already accomplished principal pictures previous to the SAG-AFTRA strike, although it’s commonplace for Marvel productions to require further pictures. Nonetheless, it’s now dealing with a seven-month delay. In the meantime, “Thunderbolts” and “Blade” have but to mount manufacturing in any respect.

On the intense aspect at the very least Deadpool 3 is claimed to be a traditional within the making with the movie main the best way for Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Tobey McGuire’s Spider-Man to be the 2 lead characters for Marvel’s upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars.
One might solely hope that seems to be true.
