Marvel Studios pushes The Marvels release date to November

We could see a few more titles pushed back as Marvel Studios and Disney spread out content.

You’re going to have to wait a little bit longer for the return of Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan as Marvel Studios announced they’ll be pushing The Marvels back to a November 10 release date. The Marvels was originally scheduled for a July 8 release.

This aligns with the new strategy announced from both Disney CEO Bob Iger and Marvel head Kevin Feige in recent comments to the media about slowing down the release of content. Some of this is as a result of cost-cutting, but it also will cut down on Marvel fatigue and allow projects to have a moment to shine.

In 2020 and 2021, Marvel released seven movies and eight Disney+ shows. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is still slated to hit theaters May 5, but it’s unclear what will happen with the Secret Invasion and Echo series that were supposed to release mid-2023. The second season of Loki does not yet have a release date, but with its tie-ins to Kang — the big baddie of both Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the next two phases — it likely won’t delay much.

Quantumania is in theaters now.
