The 2020/2021 release schedule has undergone more seismic shifts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic today, with the entire Marvel Studios Phase 4 slate pushed back and Disney completely shaking up its calendar. We do have some long overdue good news, however, as Captain Marvel 2 has officially been given a release date.
The sequel to the 2019 release has taken the slot previously held by an Untitled Marvel movie on July 29th, 2022, but has been brought forward slightly to July 8th, 2022.
That's right, an upcoming blockbuster has actually been given an earlier release date and not a later one!
As we've mentioned, Thor: Love and Thunder has taken the February 18th, 2022 slot which was previously reserved for another Untitled Marvel movie, so it's possible that's when Captain Marvel 2 was originally going to be released, and a currently unrevealed film was being lined up for July.
Marvel Studios has had to shake things up in a major way, though, and we now have to hope that Hollywood is able to get back to work sooner rather than later and that theaters can re-open their doors. If not, these delays are likely to be even more severe.
There's currently no word on whether Disney is planning to postpone the likes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision, both of which are supposed to be hitting Disney+ later this year (neither of them have finished shooting).
Are you excited for Captain Marvel 2?
