Looks
like
Marvel
fans
will
have
to
wait
a
bit
longer
for
both
Deadpool
3
(damnit!)
and
Captain
America
4
(oh
well)
due
to
the
recent
SAG-AFTRA
strike
that
shut
down
Hollywood
the
past
few
months.
According
to
Variety,
Marvel
has
recently
updated
their
release
date
for
Deadpool
3
from
May
24,
2024
to
July
26,
2024
while
bumping
Captain
America
4
from
July
26,
2024
to
February
14,
2025
(a
Valentine’s
Day
film?!).
The
news
comes
after
SAG-AFTRA
strike
came
to
an
end
this
week
and
Hollywood
writers
and
actors
can
once
again
restart
the
projects
that
came
to
a
screeching
halt
this
past
Summer.
Now
that
the
smoke
is
cleared
(for
now)
and
everyone
can
get
back
to
work,
production
starts
and
release
dates
have
been
getting
shuffled
around
as
many
expected
they
would.
Variety
reports:
Beyond
Marvel,
Disney
has
also
delayed
its
upcoming
prequel
to
its
2019
CGI
remake
of
“The
Lion
King.”
“Mufasa:
The
Lion
King,”
directed
by
Barry
Jenkins,
has
moved
from
a
July
5,
2024
date
to
Dec.
20,
2024.
Additionally,
the
studio
has
vacated
two
other
dates
— July
25,
2025
and
Nov.
7,
2025
—
which
it
had
planted
flags
on
for
unspecified
features.
While
“Deadpool
3”
still
has
a
fair
amount
of
production
to
complete,
it’s
notable
that
“Captain
America:
Brave
New
World,”
which
will
see
Anthony
Mackie’s
Sam
Wilson
take
on
the
Marvel
mantle,
had
already
completed
principal
photography
prior
to
the
SAG-AFTRA
strike,
though
it
is
commonplace
for
Marvel
productions
to
require
additional
photography.
Nonetheless,
it
is
now
facing
a
seven-month
delay.
Meanwhile,
“Thunderbolts”
and
“Blade”
have
yet
to
mount
production
at
all.
The
upside
is
that
this
will
give
Marvel
more
time
to
add
whatever
flavor
necessary
to
make
Captain
America
4
more
enticing
to
comic
book
fans
who
just
aren’t
feeling
the
production
that
they’ve
been
putting
out
as
of
late.
From
rumors
that
Roberty
Downey
Jr.
will
be
making
a
cameo
as
Tony
Stark
in
some
way
to
word
that
Chris
Evans
will
be
appearing
as
“old
man”
Captain
America
in
the
film,
buzz
for
the
Anthony
Mackie
led
film
isn’t
high
right
now.
We’ll
just
have
to
wait
and
see
if
Marvel
uses
this
pushback
to
their
advantage.
On
the
bright
side
at
least
Deadpool
3
is
said
to
be
a
classic
in
the
making
with
the
film
leading
the
way
for
Hugh
Jackman’s
Wolverine
and
Tobey
McGuire’s
Spider-Man
to
be
the
two
lead
characters
for
Marvel’s
upcoming
Avengers:
Secret
Wars.
One
could
only
hope
that
turns
out
to
be
true.
