The WGA strike finally struck Disney. The media giant changed its release calendar, moving several Marvel movies back and delaying all Avatar sequels by a year or more. But there was some good news among the bad guys. Disney has added a new Star Wars movie to its schedule as well as a live-action show Moana Movie starring Dwayne Johnson.
Marvel’s schedule is mixed up. Marvel has already announced that they are stopping production Lightning And code. But now, the studio is moving around several Phase 5 titles. But cheers up, Deadpool fans! Deadpool 3 It is moved for six months in a strange twist of fate. Otherwise, you may have to wait a bit next year for the films that were announced once on time.
The Writers’ Strike didn’t affect any movies with a 2023 release date, but starting next year, there could be a huge gap between which movies studios tend to release a little faster. We’ve been ready for the new Avatar movies – they’re supposed to be completed – but along with everything else being pushed back, we may not see Avatar 5 Until 2031.
Marvel schedule
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a delicate ecosystem. Long enough delays on one movie can set an entire series of movies back by years. So it’s no surprise that we’re now being informed of changes to the MCU’s schedule that reverberate all the way to the end of the Multiverse saga. We knew that Lightning And code It was delayed due to the strike. The ad has caused some ripples in the timeline before. But now, Disney appears to be clamping down, planning a long, long battle.
Changes begin with Captain America: Brave New World, which was set to be released on May 3, 2024. Now the next installment in the Captain America franchise will be released nearly three months later on July 26. This step affects everything in the future: Lightningwhich was once the date of the new Captain America, is now on December 20, 2024. This is called code Until February 14, 2025 and Fantastic Four Until May 2, 2025.
Closing films are being pushed back an entire year, just in case. The Avengers: Kang Dynasty It will premiere now on May 1, 2026 and Secret wars It will move from that date to May 7, 2027. Deadpool appears to be the only comic book superhero who escaped from the steam machine, Deadpool 3 It is transmitted from November 8 to May 3, 2024.
Star Wars and Moana see new dates
Disney hadn’t been planning to make more Star Wars movies for a long time. Its franchise efforts focus on merchandise and the Disney+ series. There was an untitled Star Wars movie with a date of December 19, 2025, but it was moved to the next year to be released on May 22, 2026. In theory, this means that two Star Wars movies will be released that year. Also, a new movie is on the schedule, with a date of December 18, 2026.
Live action adaptation of Moana also appeared on the list. Many fans were excited when Disney announced plans to bring a live-action adaptation of the animated film that celebrates Polynesian culture. Dwayne Johnson spoke from a beach in Maui with his two young daughters to announce that he will star in a live-action remake, starring the animated character Maui. His daughters presented him with Maui’s iconic whalebone fish hook in a dazzling display. the new Moana It will be released on June 27, 2025.
Avatar is getting new release dates
We all sigh when Avatar: Water Road It finally appeared – ten years after its predecessor. But now it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer for the Avatar movies 3, 4, and 5. Most of these movies have been delayed on Disney’s slate due to complications following the writers’ strike. But we thought most of the Avatar movies were already over. James Cameron said that before he was released water way He has already finished filming Avatar 3 and most 4.
Producer Jon Landau told fans why Avatar was so late on Twitter:
So it looks like Avatar’s special effects are really good. But according to the schedule, it will take a long time to complete the post-production. Avatar 3 which was scheduled for release on December 20, 2024, will be released a year later on December 19, 2025. Avatar 4 Advance three years from December 18, 2026 to December 21, 2029. W Avatar 5 Now it’s not set to release until December 19th, 2031. So it might be a while before the Avatar saga comes to a close, but it’s sure to look amazing.
