Disney has decided to delay the releases of Blade, Deadpool 3, Fantastic Four and other major Marvel properties.
As per Variety, Blade has moved from November 3, 2023, to September 6, 2024, which created a ripple on the rest of the MCU.
Deadpool 3 has relocated from September 6, 2024, to November 8, 2024. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and has lured Hugh Jackman out of retirement as Wolverine. Shawn Levy will helm the project.
Marvel Studios has delayed the following projects:
'BLADE' will now release on September 6, 2024.
'DEADPOOL 3' will now release on November 8, 2024.
'FANTASTIC FOUR' will now release on February 14, 2025.
'AVENGERS: SECRET WARS' will now release on May 1, 2026.— Matt Ramos (@therealsupes) October 11, 2022
Fantastic Four has shifted from November 8, 2024, to February 14, 2025. The film, one of Marvel's most anticipated, has yet to cast the four leads, but has WandaVision director Matt Shakman attached to direct.
An untitled Marvel film has been pushed from February 14, 2025, to November 7, 2025; Avengers: Secret Wars has been delayed from November 7, 2025, to May 1, 2026; and another untitled Marvel film set for May 1, 2026 has been removed from Disney's calendar.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced at San Diego Comic-Con in July that Fantastic Four would kick off Phase Six, which would make Blade and Deadpool 3 the final two films in Phase Five.
The delay of Avengers: Secret Wars means that fans will no longer get two Avengers movies in the same year.
