10 Biggest Implications Of Marvel's Massive Phase 4 Delay
10. The Longest Stretch Without A Marvel Movie In A Decade
Black Widow was supposed to be released on May 1st, but Disney recently postponed the movie indefinitely for obvious reasons. That led to speculation about a Digital or Disney+ debut, but the studio has clearly decided to hold off on making such a drastic move, and instead dated it for November 6th, 2020, the release date originally held by Eternals.
Believe it or not, that means we're now facing the biggest gap between Marvel Studios movies in a decade. After Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk were released in 2008, it was a two-year wait for Iron Man 2 in 2010, and it's now going to be eighteen months between the release of Avengers: Endgame and Black Widow.
However, even if you count Sony's Marvel Studios produced Spider-Man: Far From Home, it's still a massive sixteen-month gap between the end of Phase 3 and start of Phase 4. That's downright unbelievable considering the fact they've gone from releasing two to three films a year, but it's not even the biggest release date shift announced by the studio late last night...
