10 Biggest Implications Of Marvel's Massive Phase 4 Delay
5. Black Panther 2's Release Date Remains Unchanged
Just like Captain Marvel 2 has received an official release date courtesy of the big changes which have been made to Phase 4, there's some good news about the upcoming Black Panther sequel as well. With an already confirmed arrival of May 8th, 2022, Disney has announced that Ryan Coogler's follow-up to the Oscar-winning first instalment has kept that date and won't be delayed in any way.
Considering the fact it's still so far away, this might not seem like a major surprise. However, it not moving points to Marvel Studios anticipating that work will be able to resume on this and other projects relatively soon, with pre-production is expected to start this year before cameras roll in 2021.
Right now, the studio is said to be working remotely on all upcoming big and small screen releases, so Coogler is no doubt continuing to make changes to the screenplay as Marvel's team of concept artists start dreaming up the look of the film. With so much riding on Black Panther 2 reaching the same heights as its game-changing predecessor, though, it keeping that prime May slot makes perfect sense.
