Marvel delays Doctor Strange and Thor sequels again as Sony changes Spider-Man release dates

Fans of the video game adaptation of 'Uncharted' have some good news, however, as the film has been given an earlier release date

Sony has had another reshuffle of its film schedule amid the coronavirus pandemic, leading to a delay for its two biggest Spider-Man films.

The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the third film in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy have each been pushed back by months.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s sequel will now be released on 7 October, 2022, instead of its previous scheduled date of 8 April 2022.

The final film in the Homecoming trilogy (a collaboration with Marvel) will be released in cinemas on 5 November 2021 instead of 16 July.

Another Spider-Man universe film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, will open on 25 July 2021 instead of this October.

This also means that another two of Disney’s Marvel Studios films will be delayed: Doctor Strange’s The Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder.

The Doctor Strange film will now be released on 25 March 2022, having previously been rescheduled to November this year.

Thor: Love and Thunder has been bumped from 18 February 2022 to 11 February the following year.

However, this does mean that Sony’s anticipated adaptation of the Uncharted video game – – starring Spider-Man’s Tom Holland – will be released slightly earlier than planned.

The movie is now scheduled to come out in cinemas on 16 July 2021 (the original date for the third Spider-Man: Homecoming film).
