Disney just revised its release schedule for movies through 2022 and has removed an untitled Marvel film from its 2020 dates. Was it Guardians of the Galaxy 3? While there’s no way to know for sure, it was expected to be one of the next films in production.
In axing the July 31, 2020 date, Disney and Marvel have now opted for just two films to be released that year. Now, the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films will be:
- Captain Marvel: March 8, 2019
- Avengers 4: May 3, 2019
- Untitled Marvel: May 1, 2020
- Untitled Marvel (potentially Doctor Strange 2?): Nov. 6, 2020
- Untitled Marvel (possibly Black Panther 2?): Feb. 12, 2021
- Untitled Marvel (I’m out of ideas, maybe Black Widow?): May 7, 2021
- Untitled Marvel (no really, what could this be? X-Men?): Nov. 5, 2021
- Untitled Marvel: Feb. 18, 2022
- Untitled Marvel: May 6, 2022
- Untitled Marvel: July 29, 2022
