Disney and Marvel Studios recently halted production on the highly anticipated film Thunderbolts due to the ongoing writer’s strike led by the WGA. This strike aims to secure better compensation and protection for its members and has caused delays in various Marvel projects, including Daredevil: Born Again, Wonder Man, and even Blade and Spider-Man 4.
David Harbour Confirms Delay On Instagram
David Harbour, known for his role as Red Guardian in Black Widow and his upcoming appearance in Thunderbolts, took to Instagram to confirm the delay of his next MCU movie. While expressing his understanding of the situation, Harbour shared a photo of himself at Avengers Campus in Disneyland, indicating that he is making the most of his time during the delay.
Impact On Thunderbolts Production And Future MCU Projects
Unfortunately, there is no resolution in sight for the writer’s strike, suggesting that Thunderbolts, along with other affected projects, will remain in limbo. The delay in filming is likely to push back the film’s release date, originally set for July 24, 2024. However, Marvel Studios still has ongoing productions like Captain America: New World Order and Deadpool 3, which may also be impacted by the strike. Despite these challenges, Marvel has completed projects in the pipeline, providing some assurance amidst the uncertainties. The hope is for a timely resolution between the studios and the WGA to minimize further disruptions in the MCU’s release schedule.
