‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Doctor Strange,’ ‘Thor’ Sequels Pushed Back Amid Coronavirus: See New Marvel Release Dates

Marvel fans have to wait further for their favorite movies because the release dates have been moved further.

Marvel is making adjustment for the schedule of its Phase 4 slate due to the coronavirus pandemic. The upcoming flicks “Black Widow,” “Thor: Love And Thunder,” “Doctor Strange 2,” “The Eternals” and “Spider-Man 3” have been postponed, Entertainment Tonight reported.

Scarlett Johansson’s “Black Widow” was initially set to May 1 but was moved to Nov. 11. “The Eternals,” which stars Angelina Jolie, Kit Harington and Selma Hayek, was meant to hit theaters about the same time, but Marvel pushed it to Feb. 12, 2021.

The new release date of “The Eternals” was originally meant for “Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Marvel decided to move the fantasy adventure movie to May 7, 2021.

Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” has been moved for the second time and is now slated for March 25, 2022. On the other hand, Chris Hemsworth’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” will hit theaters on Feb 11, 2022.

The two sequels of Tom Halland’s “Spider-Man” are also affected with the changes. The “Spider-Man: Far From Home” sequel was initially set to premiere on July 16, 2021, but the release date has been moved to Nov. 5, 2021. On the other hand, the “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” sequel will hit theaters on Oct. 7, 2022 instead of April 8, 2022.

Despite the changes, there’s still good news – the release date of Chadwick Boseman’s “Black Panther 2” remains intact. It is set for May 6, 2022. Disney has also officially dated the sequel of “Captain Marvel” on July 8, 2022.

Meanwhile, sources claimed that Disney is losing thousands of money daily due to the coronavirus pandemic because the multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate has been forced to halt several productions and postpone several movies in its calendar.

“It's not like you can stop on a dime,” a source revealed. “You need to keep department heads going and maybe a level down from there through the hiatus,” the insider said.

Meanwhile, according to attorney John Tomlinson, who specializes in insurance and risk management law, some property policies may offer limited amount of coverage.
