Sony Has Reserved Dates For More Marvel Movies In The Next Two Years
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, still a part of Sony's plans
Fresh off Disney rearranging its live-action release schedule and employing new dates for announced and unannounced films, Sony has laid claim to two new dates as well, and they’re both for Marvel films.
The dates Sony claimed for their Marvel films are November 8, 2024, and June 27, 2025. Both will have access to IMAX screens. Tom Holland has said there have been early talks about his fourth Spider-Man movie but that has paused due to the writers’ strike. Regardless, “some stuff is going on” and he’s “excited.”. It’s not even a done deal yet, but things look good enough that the optimism is high. Venom 3 meanwhile has several supporting actors cast, like Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor, it sounds far closer to something ready to be dated, at least more firmly. Variety has said it’s been rumored for an October release, so maybe they found November 8 to be more suitable.
Disney Shifts Around Release Dates, Pushing MCU Phase Six Into 2027 And 'Avatar' To 2031
While Tuesday was a big day for Disney on the animation side at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, its live-action film slate got quite the seismic shift, reportedly due to studios refusing writers’ demands for fair pay and a sustainable career.
Without speculating further, Currently, there’s nothing opening against the November 8, 2024 film. However Universal has an untitled event film scheduled for November 1. It would go up against a Warner Bros tentpole scheduled for November 15, and Paramount has Gladiator 2 opening on November 22. The June 27, 2025 film will go head-to-head with an untitled Blumhouse movie and Disney’s live-action Moana remake, which they had dated among the shuffles.
The 2024 film would be the fourth Sony/Marvel film of the year, following El Muerto on January 12, Madame Web on February 16, and Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse on March 29. Its preceding film, Across the Spider-Verse, has grossed $412 million and counting worldwide heading into this third weekend of release since June 2. Marvel Studios’s films for the year are now Deadpool 3, Captain America: Brave New World, and Thunderbolts. For 2025, only Blade and Fantastic Four, the end of Phase Five and the beginning of Phase Six of the MCU, are scheduled.
