Last month, Disney shifted the release dates of multiple high-profile theatrical releases, including many from Marvel Studios, such as Black Widow Eternals, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. On Friday, the studio has made more changes.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has used the time stone and moved from November 5, 2021 to March 25, 2022. The film was moved off its original May 2021 release to November 5 just last month.
Disney also moved the Taika Waititi directed Thor: Love and Thunder up one week from February 18, 2022 to February 11, 2022. So, not everything is getting pushed back.
Additionally, Sony and Marvel Studios is delaying the currently untitled third entry in the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man franchise from July 16, 2021, to November 5, 2021.
Here is how the Marvel Cinematic Universe theatrical release schedule looks after today,
• Black Widow – November 6, 2020
