Following months of indefinite delays, Blade, Captain America: New World Order, and other highly-anticipated Marvel movies have received new release schedules.

Why Was Deadpool 3’s Release Date Delayed?
Many studios’ biggest blockbusters were put on hold amid the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Following a tentative agreement earlier this week, SAG-AFTRA actors are back to work — and Marvel Studios is seemingly eager to get its schedule back on track.
This week, Ryan Reynolds shared an exclusive look at “Dogpool” to share his commitment to a summer 2024 Deadpool 3 release date. The new MCU release schedule seemingly confirms that all is on track. However, scheduling conflicts, further strikes, and various other factors could still change these dates, so it may be too early to mark your calendars.
Deadpool 3 and Blade will introduce Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Blade (Mahershala Ali), and more to Marvel’s multiverse. Meanwhile, Captain America 4 and Thunderbolts will see characters like Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) step into new roles. However, with the recent release of The Marvels, it will be at least nine months before audiences see another MCU movie.
