Disney and Marvel have reshuffled a number of Blockbuster releases for 2022 that will see the likes of the ‘Indiana Jones’ sequel and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ hitting a delay in release.
With the multiply setbacks in the release schedule due to the pandemic over the past two years, Disney’s decision to delay a number of titles is due to the domino effect the pandemic has had on production progress and filmmakers.
With most titles looking at a 2-3 month delay, the new ‘Indiana Jones’ movie is moving back by almost a year from July 2022 to June 2023, vacating the spot already held by DC’s Dwayne Johnson-led Black Adam.
