New 2022 Release Dates for Thor 4, Doctor Strange 2

UPDATE, April 24: Just three weeks after announcing a massive overhaul of their upcoming theatrical release slate, Disney has set new 2022 dates Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Thor: Love and Thunder will now open Feb. 11, 2022 (up from Feb. 28, 2022), while the Doctor Strange sequel moves to March 25, 2022. It was recently slated for Nov. 5, 2021. Our original April 3rd report follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Disney announced a series of new release dates Friday that see several major date changes for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Black Widow, which was to have opened in May but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, will now take the November 6, 2020, slot originally occupied by The Eternals. For our breakdown of this news and what it means for the bigger MCU picture, check out the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/disney-reveals-massive-changes-to-marvel-phase-4-ign-now"] The Eternals, in turn, moves to Feb. 12, 2021, which was when Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was to have opened. Shang-Chi now takes the May 7, 2021, date that had belonged to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Doctor Strange sequel moves to Nov. 5, 2021, which bumps Thor: Love And Thunder to Feb. 28, 2022. Black Panther 2 remains slated for May 8, 2022, while Captain Marvel 2 shifts ahead two weeks to July 8, 2022. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/mcu-timeline-reportedly-wont-be-affected-by-black-widow-delay"] Disney's release date changes obviously don't just affect the MCU. Mulan, which was to have opened in March before being postponed, is now opening July 24, 2020. That, in turn, bumps Jungle Cruise a whole year to July 30, 2021. Likewise, Indiana Jones 5 has also been pushed another whole year, from July 9, 2021 to July 29, 2022. The Ryan Reynolds-Taika Waititi video game comedy Free Guy moves from this July to December 11. Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and Ridley Scott's The Last Duel remain put on on Dec. 18 and Dec. 25, respectively. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch has been shifted from its original July 14 release date to Oct. 16. Curiously, Disney has yet to set new release dates for several titles formerly owned by Fox: The New Mutants, The Personal History of David Copperfield, Antlers, and Woman in the Window. Will any of those titles join Artemis Fowl in being shifted from a theatrical release to Disney+ instead? Time will tell.
