Hollywood movies release shuffle due to COVID-19 outbreak

Many Hollywood movies have been shuffling for more release dates including sequels to ‘Doctor Strange’ due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Both Sony Pictures and The Walt Disney announced updated theatrical release schedules that significantly delay some of their marquee superhero films. Natalie Portman starring ‘Thor: Love and Thunder,’ will be released in February 2022.

Marvel’s ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ the sequel to the 2016 Benedict Cumberbatch film, has been pushed back from November 2021 to March 2022.

Among other changes, Disney postponed the release of a new “Indiana Jones” movie by one year to July 2022, the company said in a statement.

The debut of “Jungle Cruise,” a live-action adventure starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, was also delayed from this summer to July 30, 2021.

Delays have hit big movies including Wonder Woman 1984, Marvel’s Black Widow, James Bond thriller No Time to Die, Mulan, F9, and A Quiet Place Part 2.

Efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus have resulted in productions being shut down, which has caused a domino effect in the meticulously planned theatrical release calendar all the way into 2022.

However, Hollywood studios are optimistic that theaters will be back in business by late July.
