Disney has shifted the release dates for two new mystery Marvel movies, the company announced Friday. A untitled Marvel movie, previously dated for Feb. 18, 2028 moves back to July 28, 2028.
The release dates for the new untitled Marvel movies are May 4, 2029 and July 13, 2029.
The news follows as “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” broke trailer records on Thursday, picking up 718.6 million views online, shattering the global record. In fact, it took the trailer only eight hours to surpass the previous 24-hour record of 373 million views established by “Deadpool & Wolverine,” according to WaveMetrix.
One of those dates could be the long awaited “X-Men” movie. “Hunger Games” writer Michael Lesslie is set to write the screenplay for “X-Men,” Marvel Studios introduction of the mutant superhero team in the MCU, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
The “X-Men” film franchise began in 2000 with “X-Men,” directed by Bryan Singer. This first film introduced audiences to the concept of mutants – humans born with genetic superpowers – and focused on the leader of the X-Men, Professor Charles Xavier, and the metal-clawed Logan/Wolverine, as they attempt to make peace with their rival Magneto. It was praised for its serious, character-driven take on the superhero genre.
Another possibility is recent Oscar winner Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther 3.” Marvel has yet to publicly reveal that “Black Panther 3” is happening or that Coogler is working on it, but it does seem like a foregone conclusion. Despite the tragic death of star Chadwick Boseman, “Wakanda Forever” grossed over $850 million at the worldwide box office, and Coogler remains in high demand.
