It didn’t take Disney long to implement big changes in the MCU.The Marvels, previously set for a summer premiere, has now been pushed to November, with the new release date accompanying the reveal of the movie’s first official poster.
Captain Marvel2is believed to have wrapped filming and most post-production work in 2022. However, the delay announcement may have more to do with Marvel Studios' new approach to timing its releases rather than any possible setbacks in completing the movie’s final cut.The Marvelswas initially scheduled for 2022, and by now, it’s one of the MCU projects with the most changes to its premiere date, with this latest one coming afterBob Iger was reinstated as Disney CEO.

News of the scheduling shift was shared byThe Marvelsprotagonist Brie Larson, who dropped the new November 10 date along with a dazzling poster featuring her and co-stars Teyonad Parris and Iman Vellani, with Captain Marvelfront and center. By sticking with the prior release date,The Marvelswould have faced a slight overlap with other highly anticipated films in 2023, namelyBarbie,Oppenheimer,andMission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One. PerhapsDisney executives were not overly enthused about having to duke it out against Tom Cruise in July.
Larson’s “Together” message certainly helps underlineThe Marvels' premise.InCaptain Marvel 2,Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan will team up to save the universe from an evolving Kree threat, with the former two having to work through their issues along the way.The Marvelsrelease date change comes only days after reports that Iger and Kevin Feige were looking to change the MCU’s content flow as early as this year.
Those sources expressed uncertainty about shows likeEchoorIronheartlanding on Disney Plusthis year.The Marvels' new fall premiere would also translate into more time betweenAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Captain Marvel’s team-up. UnlikeAnt-Man, the firstCaptain Marvelearned over a billion dollars, nearly two-thirds as much as the twoGuardiansmovies combined.
Funnily enough, Captain Marvel was present in twoPhase Four post-credits scenes, as she shows up inShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsandMs. Marvel, which suggests Carol Danvers will have a lot on her plate come November.
