Sony has had another reshuffle of its film schedule amid the coronavirus pandemic, leading to a delay for its two biggest Spider-Man films.
The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the third film in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy have each been pushed back by months.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s sequel will now be released on 7 October, 2022, instead of its previous scheduled date of 8 April 2022.
The final film in the Homecoming trilogy (a collaboration with Marvel) will be released in cinemas on 5 November 2021 instead of 16 July.
Another Spider-Man universe film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, will open on 25 July 2021 instead of this October.
This also means that another two of Disney’s Marvel Studios films will be delayed: Doctor Strange’s The Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder.
The Doctor Strange film will now be released on 25 March 2022, having previously been rescheduled to November this year.
Thor: Love and Thunder has been bumped from 18 February 2022 to 11 February the following year.
However, this does mean that Sony’s anticipated adaptation of the Uncharted video game – – starring Spider-Man’s Tom Holland – will be released slightly earlier than planned.
The movie is now scheduled to come out in cinemas on 16 July 2021 (the original date for the third Spider-Man: Homecoming film).
