The 2020 year in movies has been all but obliterated by the Coronavirus Pandemic. What started as a slow-roll of studio delays for the spring season, has now become a full-blown reshuffling of every major studio's release slate - including Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. Thanks to the interconnected nature of the MCU saga, the entire line of Phase 4 films has had to be moved to new release dates, and have now been shuffled all over gagin, thanks to delays with Sony and Marvel's Spider-Man 3.
With so many different delay announcements it may be hard to keep track of which new MCU movies are coming when - but we have the full breakdown for you, below:
Here's Every New Marvel MCU Movie Release Date 2020 - 2023:
