Kevin Feige Confirms That INHUMANS Is Unlikely To Meet Its Release Date; Could It Be Indefinitely Delayed?
Last year, it was rumoured that Marvel Studios had decided to scrap Inhumans to spite Isaac Perlmutter and Marvel TV, and while we still don't know if that's true, the movie won't be part of Phase 3!
The fate of Marvel's Inhumans movie has been up in the air for a while now, especially as rumours surfaced last year which pointed to Marvel possibly scrapping it altogether due to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. exploring the concept of these characters and the apparent rift which has developed between Marve Studios President Kevin Feige and Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac Perlmutter. Either way, the movie certainly doesn't appear to be a priority for Marvel, especially as it's been pushed back a few times now thanks to various sequels and high profile acquisitions like the Spider-Man franchise.
So, when Collider recently caught up with Feige, they asked for an update about the current status of Inhumans. "Since we made our initial phase three announcement, we added Spider-Man, which was a big joyous coup for us. We added Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was a big fun continuation of that story for us. Walt Disney Company has announced an Indiana Jones film for right around that same time. So I think it will shuffle off the current date that it’s on right now. How far down it shuffles, I’m not sure yet." So, it sounds like that's a no for Inhumans in 2019, but when the site asked Feige if it's a matter of "they’re doing that on TV, we’re not doing it", he replied: "No, It’s a question of when."
So, Inhumans might happen. Eventually. The question now is, what happens to its release date?
