When it comes to Marvel, it might be a tad bit difficult to keep up with new releases and announcements — thanks to the massive cinematic universes. Marvel’s original 2024 schedule announced an expansive plan for six major movie releases within a single year, consisting of titles from both the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU).
However, with the 118-day-long SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023, several upcoming Marvel movies and shows changed their release dates due to internal reorganisation. These factors led to significant shifts for certain movies, with some being moved from 2023 to 2024 and others being pushed further into 2025 and 2026.
Despite changes in the Marvel movie lineup for 2024, audiences can still expect a diverse and thrilling selection of films. Hint: Deadpool and Spider-Verse.
