Major Marvel Shake-Up: Phase 5 Schedule Altered, 7 Highly-Anticipated MCU Shows Face Delays!

Summary

Multiple MCU TV shows, including What If...? season 2 and Echo, are facing release date changes due to ongoing strikes by SAG-AFTRA and WGA.

What If...? season 2's premiere has been rescheduled to align with Christmas Day, whereas both the Hawkeye spinoff and WandaVision spinoff Agatha: Darkhold Diaries will experience notable delays.

Unfortunately, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spinoff Ironheart has been taken off the schedule, and production halts have resulted in indefinite delays for Daredevil: Born Again and Wonder Man.

The ongoing strikes by SAG-AFTRA and the Writer's Guild of America have caused a disruption in the release dates of several Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows. Phase 5 of the MCU has been significantly affected due to these strikes and mixed audience reactions to their projects. Consequently, there have been several major changes in release dates. One recent change involves the delay of six movies, including Deadpool 3, Blade, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Secret Wars.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, there have been further adjustments to the release dates of What If...? season 2, Echo, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (previously titled Coven of Chaos), and X-Men '97 due to the ongoing strikes. The animated multiverse show, originally scheduled for an early 2023 release, will now premiere closer to Christmas Day. The Hawkeye spinoff, which was supposed to debut on November 29, has been postponed to January 2024. The WandaVision spinoff has been rescheduled to early Fall 2024 instead of Winter 2023. The animated revival will now be released in early 2024 instead of Fall 2023. Additionally, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spinoff, Ironheart, has been removed from the schedule entirely. Production on Daredevil: Born Again and Wonder Man has been indefinitely delayed due to the ongoing strikes.
