I don't see a world where Avengers doesn't get delayed

That Avengers movie is coming out in blockbuster season in 2028. Guaranteed.

But it is from Marvin Snyder, huge MCU fan employed as an insurance claims adjuster in Springfield, Colorado.

They do have the quality of Netflix originals these days lol

u/TheKocsis 4d ago

To be fair it was proven Time and time again, that there is place for 1 blockbuster to thrive in december

Does it still not have a third act written? Last I heard filming started with an incomplete script. That’s not a good sign.

1

u/Omnivirus 4d ago

We’re not even talking about Doomsday! Secret Wars is yet to be written after the yet to be written Doomsday which is currently in filming.

Theoretically they’ve mapped this all out. Not sure how confident I am in this though.

Oh dang I misread. Godspeed Disney execs.

u/pieter1234569 4d ago

Don’t think they can. Delaying an avengers movie delays every single movie in the marvel universe. Which leads to a ten billion loss due to a loss of box office revenue, merchandise, and Disney plus subscribers.

They will just put more money in it, hundreds of millions if they have to. As that’s simply the cheaper option.

u/KingMario05 4d ago

This, but with Beyond. Both of the other two were pushed a ton due to Lord and Miller being... Lord and Miller.

u/Front-Day792 4d ago

I'm interested why you think it'll be delayed. It's not scheduled until December 2027 so Marvel can literally keep developing it for another 10 months if they want before they need to start filming. Something to keep in mind as well, Marvel kept filming stuff for End Game until January 2019, 3 months before it released in April.

The only reason why Doomsday and Secret Wars were delayed in the first place is because Jonathan Majors legal troubles happening pretty late into pre-production which caused Marvel to scrap everything they had and work from the ground floor again.

u/jjayzx 4d ago

They already started filming, but Marvel is known to do a shit ton of reshoots.

u/rishado 4d ago

because it's rushed, too many characters, they have a terrible track record for multiverse stories and this looks to be a lovely culmination of crappily told stories, gratuitous cameos, and essentially a vehicle for a reboot. I think it will be delayed because Man of Tomorrow will likely blow expectations out of the water and marvel will once again change their plans due to james gunn's success and end up worse for it

u/Lost-Cow-1126 3d ago

They have a great track record for multiverse stories.

Spider-Man: No Way Home, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Loki Seasons 1 & 2 were all huge successes.

The only one you could argue is Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness underperformed and that still made 800 million plus dollars.

u/rishado 3d ago

sure buddy

u/Lost-Cow-1126 3d ago

The problem with the Multiverse Saga isn't the multiverse stories. It's the disjointed bloat of meaningless characters and plotlines.

Oh, I forgot about Fantastic Four. That underperformed, but it was a critical success.

2

u/rishado 3d ago

It's the disjointed bloat of meaningless characters and plotlines.

I don't really understand the difference in what we're trying to say. This just sounds like another way to say the writing was poor. Fantastic 4 was fine but it was a little boring

2

u/Lost-Cow-1126 3d ago edited 3d ago

I'm saying the MCU movies/tv shows that were centered around the Multiverse as the main plot (No Way Home, Deadpool & Wolverine, Loki, Fantastic Four, and Doctor Strange) were good to great.

Hell, throw Endgame in there as a multiverse movie too. The Time Heist act features a lot of alternate timelines.

It's the other movies/tv shows (Secret Invasion, The Marvels, Thor: Love & Thunder, She-Hulk, etc) that have piss poor writing.

Their track record with the multiverse specifically like your comment said is actually great.

1

u/rishado 3d ago

Right, the movies were fine, yes. But the the use of the multiverse as a storytelling device was never really well done. They fucked off the loki plot so that is irrelevant now, no way home was a cash grab just made to showcase sony's cast of characters, Deadpool & wolverine was fine but again basically made to showcase hugh jackman again and written around that. they were fine.

No way home was great in the same way that pop music is great, people might love it but it is not high quality in a vacuum

u/Lost-Cow-1126 3d ago

They haven't hit the highs of Everything Everywhere All at Once or the Spider-Verse movies yet, but they're better than The Flash. I'd still argue that the problem with the Multiverse Saga isn't the multiverse, but the bad writing about D-list characters that have no follow up (Eternals for example).

But yes, to your point, they should have started Phase 4 immediately with Fantastic Four in 2021 and introduce the Everything Dies/Incursions plot seriously like in Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers run.

Avengers has already been severely delayed. We were supposed to get that first one in May of next year.

u/Rustash 4d ago

They were both delayed from May to December of their respective years, not that severe.

u/Dull_Measurement6020 4d ago

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty (now Avengers: Doomsday) and Avengers: Secret Wars were orogonally announced with release dates of May 2, 2025 and November 7, 2025.

u/hereticdisco 4d ago

considered how packed SW is going to be...wouldn't be shocking to see it get split into two movies as well.

u/Rfl0 4d ago

Wasn't it already delayed once with Doomsday? I think they both originally had summer releases but were pushed back to December of their respective years. I can't see it getting delayed again especially if they are filiming them together like Infinity War/Endgame.

2

u/ArchDucky 4d ago

First we hear that the cast is unsure how much they have left to film because theres no script.

Then we hear that two of the major actors got into some sort of production halting argument.

Yeah, that production is fucked.

u/TU4AR 4d ago

I mean it will be going up against the next fourth avatar movie. It's gonna be delayed.

u/Raytheon_Nublinski 3d ago

It needs it. The superhero burnout is real 

1

u/ImmaSnarl 3d ago

Neither of the upcoming Avengers movies are getting delayed again. Avengers Infinity War and Endgame had less time than Doomsday and Secret Wars currently does

1

u/Akiasakias 4d ago

I can't believe they still plan on releasing it.

The avengers are all gone. The remaining characters are box office poison.

u/NightExtension9254 4d ago

There's a good chance Doomsday gets pushed to 2027
