10 Biggest Implications Of Marvel's Massive Phase 4 Delay
2. Spider-Man 3 Is Likely To Also Be Delayed
Now, you may be wondering about Spider-Man 3's absence from last night's big Phase 4 shakeup, but there's a good reason Disney made no mention of the web-slinger. The Spider-Man movies are distributed by Sony Pictures, and while Marvel Studios has creative input, it's ultimately down to them to decide when it swings into cinemas.
Unfortunately, the signs are pointing to a Spider-Man 3 delay being another implication of the big Phase 4 changes. Morbius has already moved from this July to next March, and this threequel is expected to start shooting this July. There's no way that happens as planned, and if September is when Hollywood resumes work, then this movie is almost certainly going to slip later into 2021.
It's also important to note that a Marvel Cinematic Universe character has been confirmed to appear, while both Homecoming and Far From Home tied heavily into other Marvel Studios adventures. If that's the case again and one of those is now coming out after Spider-Man 3, then it's highly unlikely huge chunks of the script will be changed just so Sony can get this out by July!
With that in mind, it's safe to assume that Spidey is another victim of the massive Phase 4 delays.
