With the end of the four-month actors’ strike, Hollywood companies rearranged their timetables, and Walt Disney postponed the release of numerous films on Thursday, including the new “Deadpool” episode and the Marvel blockbuster “Blade.”
Disney announced in a statement that the upcoming “Deadpool,” which was originally supposed to hit theaters in May, will now instead open in late July. Because of this, the film’s scheduled July release, Captain America: Brave New World, had to be rescheduled for February 2025.
Another Marvel superhero film, ‘Thunderbolts’, was pushed to July 2025, and ‘Blade’ was postponed until November 2025.
Film and television series production was halted by the 118-day actors’ strike. A tentative labor agreement was signed on Wednesday, and performers and studios are arranging to wrap up unfinished productions on their timetables.
Disney rescheduled the release date of “Mufasa: The Lion King” to December 2024, five months later than anticipated, in order to accommodate Marvel.
