Ever since the coronavirus crisis pushed the delays for the MCU to further in 2020, the schedule has seemed to change nearly daily. The order of all the Marvel release date scheduling has been shuffled multiple times, but it seems that they will still be releasing in something very close to the order they were originally intended. This also shifts the number of films in the MCU releasing by year to one in 2020, three in 2021, and a whopping five in 2022.
2020 will bring the premiere of Black Widow on November 6 after the delays pushed the movie off of its original May 1 release date. 2021 will have the releases of The Eternals on February 12, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on May 7, and Spider-Man 3 on November 6.
2022 will then mark the biggest year in the MCU’s history with five movies in total. Thor: Love and Thunder comes in on February 11, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on March 25, Black Panther 2 on May 6, Captain Marvel 2 on July 8, and an untitled Marvel movie on October 7. It will be even more exciting once the coronavirus pandemic is over so everything can be set deeper into stone.
