THWAP! With film production at a standstill and no realistic return date in sight, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have finally made the decision to move back Jon Watts’ upcoming Spider-Man threequel from July 16, 2021 to November 5, 2021.
The return of Tom Holland as the web-slinger, will now replace Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which Marvel Studios has moved to March 25, 2022. They’ve also moved up Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder one week from February 18, 2022 to February 11, 2022.
Elsewhere, Sony has moved their Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel from April 8, 2022 to October 7, 2022 (a date previously occupied by an Untitled Marvel Studios film) and moved up another Tom Holland-starrer, Uncharted, from October 8, 2021 to July 16, 2021. The latter had just began production before being shut down.
This makes three films for Marvel in 2021 (The Eternals; Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings; Spider-Man 3) and four films in the span of six months in 2022 (Thor: Love and Thunder; Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness; Black Panther II; Captain Marvel 2).
