Recently a new addition, Deadpool 3, was also added to the timeline, and fans were super excited about the upcoming movie.

Marvel Updates Releasing Schedule For Phase 5 and Phase 6 of the MCU
Last month Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman confirmed their MCU debut with the announcement of Deadpool 3. The movie was scheduled to release on 6 September 2024. Fans were super excited about the film and were eagerly waiting for the movie. But after recent updates, fans might have to wait a little longer.
Marvel has changed the release date for Blade, Deadpool 3, Fantastic Four, and Avengers: Secret Wars. There might have been multiple reasons behind the delay, but Mahershala Ali‘s Blade is said to be the cause behind these delays for now.
The film has been facing several issues with its production, and recently the director of the film, Bassam Tariq, also left the project. It was also reported that the script of Blade was also not completed and the filming was also pushed to start in November this year.
Fans Are Glad Marvel is Not Rushing into Releasing the Films
The delay might have caused fans to wait a little longer to watch their favorite characters on screen, but they are glad that the studio is not rushing with the films.
having Avengers movies 6 months a part was crazy idea

Let’s all be honest. We all knew they weren’t going to release TWO Avengers films in the same year

Makes sense

That’s a wild lineup, the future is looking bright for the MCU

I’m fine with this. 2 avengers movies coming out in the same year would’ve been way too much. I’m glad they’re giving a year gap between the film just like Infinity War and Endgame

Fans took the social media to support the decision saying that it makes sense to have a delay as it could have been a mess to develop all those movies within two years.
New Releasing Schedule of The Multiverse Saga in the MCU
Mahershala Ali’s Blade, which was scheduled to release on 3 November 2023, is moved to 6 September 2024. Deadpool 3 is also pushed to 8 November 2024 from its earlier release date of 6 September 2024. Fantastic Four is moved to 14 February 2025 from 8 November 2024.
Fantastic Four is also one of the most anticipated films of the MCU. However, the studio seems to be facing a hard time with the casting of the film. WandaVision director Matt Shakman will be directing the movie.
And lastly, Avengers: Secret Wars, which was earlier scheduled to release on 7 November 2025, will now release on 1 May 2026. The studio is still in search of a director for Secret Wars.
Phase 4 of the MCU faced a lot of criticism for its shows and movies. Considering this, Marvel may have decided to take its time with its future projects as rushing into production may cause it all to happen again.
The last film of phase 4 of the MCU, which is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is set to release on November 11, 2022.
