No further information was given by Disney as to why the films were moved. While production of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was briefly delayed, productions on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder have wrapped and The Marvels and Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania have, as far as we know proceeded without problems.
The updates mean Marvel Studios will only have 3 films in theaters in 2022. And while they still look to put 4 in theaters in 2023, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania has now been moved to July, meaning it’s release will now be AFTER Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Four films remain on Marvel Studios 2024 slate with flags planted on February 16th, May 3rd, July 26th and November 8th.
In total, one film was removed from the upcoming Marvel Studios slate.
With the changes, the updated release slate looks like this:
November 5, 2021: Eternals
December 15, 2021: Spider-Man: No Way Home, in collaboration with Sony
May 6, 2022: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
July 8, 2022: Thor: Love and Thunder
November 11, 2022: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
February 17, 2023: The Marvels
May 5, 2023: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
July 28, 2023: Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania
