The Suicide Squad
Last updated : April 24 , 2020
In spite of all the late MCU and DCEU sack date changes , there are still a act of superhero movies that have n’t been delayed ( yet ) . As the domain persist on lockdown in reaction to the on-going coronavirus pandemic , it ’s anyone ’s guess when liveliness will take back to something resemble normal , much lesswhen it will be safe for theatre to reopenand movie and idiot box shows to resume production non - remotely . Because of this , studios have been forced to modernize their release ticket for the remainder of 2020 , with several of this year ’s would - be blockbuster ( likeFast & Furious 9andJungle Cruise ) having lurch all the way back to 2021 instead .
Due to the interlink nature of the MCU , Marvel Studios has even go so far as tochange its entire Phase 4 expiration slate(with two exceptions ) , beginning withBlack Widowbeing delay from May to November 2020 . Things have n’t been quite as dramatic for the DCEU , though , what with the franchise having shift away from the MCU shared universe model over the past couple eld in favour of a series of slackly - connect standalone photographic film . Nevertheless , DC movies likeThe Batmanhave recently seen their sacking dates pushed back over concerns about them being ineffectual to finish yield in fourth dimension to make their previous deadlines .

With the elision of 2022’sThe Flash(which actually move up a month from its old spot ) and a fistful of other film , the immense legal age of superhero pic planned for 2020 - 2022 have now been delay by the COVID-19 outbreak ( either directly or as part of a domino effect ) . Keeping that in mind , here ’s our summation of the superhero tentpoles that HAVEN’T changed date and/0r been postponed - and whether they ’re likely to in the foreseeable future tense .
Spider-Man: Homecoming 3
The as - yet untitled third entry in the MCU’sSpider - Mansolo movie trilogy was one of only two MCU instalment that did n’t change their release date when Disney modernize their upcoming film slate near the top of April . Of naturally , that ’s becauseSpider - Man : Homecoming 3is in reality a Sony production and the studio apartment still hopes to begin shooting this summertime for a theatrical rollout on July 16 , 2021 . More recently , however , Peter Parker actor Tom Hollandconfirmed there ’s a genuine possibility the task will be delayed - something that seems all the more likely , now thatSony has set itsVenomsequelto open just three weeks before the next Spider - Man movie is supposed to go far .
UPDATE : Sure enough , Homecoming 3has now been delayed four monthsto Fall 2021 .
James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad(a fond lengthiness of David Ayer’sSuicide Squad ) had the good fortune of wrapping output before the coronavirus pandemic took a turn for the worse , allow for the filmmaker and his crew to stay on mail - yield remotely while they self - quarantine . Gunn has since confirmed the movie’spublicity campaign and marketing have been decelerate downby the pandemic , though it ’s admittedly too early to expect anything major decent now anyway . Obviously , thing could alter , but for the time beingThe Suicide Squadseems to be firmly on cut to arrive on August 6 , 2021 as planned .

Black Adam
Dwayne Johnson has been gearing up to play DC antihero / villainBlack Adamon the big screen since as far back as 2008 , and is presently set to make his long - expect debut in the DCEU with the character ’s solo film on December 22 , 2021 . That may or may no longer be possible , though , with Johnson confirming the movie ’s productionhas been defer to August or Septemberthis year rather than July because of the pandemic . Still , assuming there are no further delays ( which , again , is far from a certain affair ) , there ’s a sensible chanceBlack Adamwill be able to strike its provisionary deadline without having to rush to its doom .
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2
Sony officially schedule the sequel to its Oscar - winningSpider - Man : Into the Spider - Versefor an April 8 , 2022 release day of the month last declension , but it ’s reportedly been in development since as far back as November 2018 . Between that and the fact the animate superhero escapade ( in theory ) should still be able to continue making progress remotely during the lockdown , it ’s not inordinate to assumeInto the Spider - Verse 2will be fill in in meter to make its current deadline . Failing that , it may have to move back to later in 2022 or even 2023 , interchangeable to what happened a few weeks back to Illumination’sMinions : The ascent of Gru .
UPDATE : Sony has shift theSpider - Versesequel back to October 7 , 2022 , as part of its overhauled release slate .
Black Panther 2
Ryan Coogler is still hard in pre - production mode onBlack Panther 2and was n’t design to start shooting the subsequence until sometime in 2021 anyway , which explains why Disney left it scheduled where it is ( on May 6 , 2022 ) when it announced its post - coronavirus release ticket earlier this month . Withmost of the originalBlack Panther ’s castalready line up and ready to reprize their respective roles in the followup , it should just be business as usual for Coogler as he continues to work on the flick ’s script during the lockdown . Pending any unanticipated additional change to the MCU ’s Phase 4 ticket , this one wo n’t be moving anywhere .

DC Super Pets
Much likeInto the Spider - Verse 2,DC ’s Super Petsanimated picture has been in the pipeline for some clip , with Jared Stern having signed on as its writer and director back in the summer of 2018.The motion picture has already been delayed once(from 2021 to 2022 ) and there has n’t much Son on its development for the past twelve months , so it ’s difficult to say how far along things really are at this compass point . Even so , DC ’s Super Petsought to be able to keep moving forward with development remotely ( while its creatives ego - quarantine ) and stay on on course to make its May 20 , 2022 waiver engagement target .
Aquaman 2
Similar toBlack Panther 2 , theAquamansequel is n’t schedule to start shooting until sometime in the early part of 2021 , and already has the majority of its cast and gang onboard well ahead of its December 16 , 2022 button escort . Returning director James Wan is presently in post - production on his horror filmMalignantand is waiting for that task to bring down a new release date ( after its previous spot in August 2020 was given toWonder Woman 1984 ) , but this should n’t block his ability to plant to work onAquaman 2as planned . The coronavirus will undoubtedly continue to impact Hollywood for years to come , but for now this particular would - be blockbusters seems safe where it is .
