‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ & ‘The Marvels’ Have New Release Dates

Kang the Conqueror is now coming sooner than expected as Marvel Studios has swapped the release dates of their two upcoming movies, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ & ‘The Marvels.’ Both the films are set to release next year in theaters.

Now, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ will release five months earlier on February 17, 2023, in theaters. Earlier, it was scheduled to release on July 28, 2023, which is now taken by the Captain Marvel sequel, ‘The Marvels.’

This development is also significant because previously we reported that the "Secret Invasion" TV series is related to The Marvels, and it is currently rumored to premiere in early 2023. The same-time premiere of two related projects might have put Marvel Studios in a tight spot, which should resolve now as ‘The Marvels’ is now moved to a Summer 2023 release date.

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ recently wrapped up the additional shoot in Los Angeles, while the principal photography was completed in London in November 2021. ‘The Marvels’ also completed the principal photography in November 2021 in London.

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ will further explore the adventures of Ant-Man and the Wasp. The film is a sequel to Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Avengers: Endgame. The film is directed by Peyton Reed from a screenplay by Jeff Loveness written by Jack Kirby. The cast of the film includes Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Jonathan Majors, Michelle Pfeiffer, Bill Murray, Evangeline Lilly, Kathryn Newton, and Michael Pena. Jonathan Majors is playing the iconic time-traveling super-villain “Kang the Conqueror,” who made his first appearance in Loki Season 1 on Disney+. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is now scheduled to release on February 17, 2023.

‘The Marvels’ will see the return of Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, who will be accompanied by Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan played by Iman Vellani. The movie also stars Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Zawe Ashton (reportedly playing a villain), and Seo Jun Park. A few members of the cast of Ms. Marvel will also return for this film. Nia DaCosta has directed the film based on a screenplay written by Megan McDonnell. The Marvels is now scheduled to release on July 28, 2023, worldwide.
