Marvel Studios' 2020 Slate Reportedly Revealed; New Details On THE ETERNALS Surface
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was recently removed from Marvel Studios' release schedule but a new report claims to shed some light on the movies they're lining up for 2020. Hit the jump for details!
Comic book fans are still mourning the fact Marvel Studios recently pulled one of its three planned movies from release in 2020, and with all the signs pointing to that having been Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it's now clear we're only getting two MCU-set tales from them the year after next.
What will they be? According to That Hashtag Show, Black Widow is set to hit theaters on May 1st, 2020, and The Eternals will follow on November 6th, 2020.
It's a bold move by Marvel Studios, especially as Black Widow is arguably a second-tier character who may or may not be able to hold her own movie, while The Eternals are something totally new to both moviegoers and even some seasoned comic book readers. Still, at least we now know where things are potentially going!
The site also reveals that while there are two definitive takes on The Eternals - the Jack Kirby iteration and then the one from Neil Gaiman - the script by Matthew and Ryan Firpo is more heavily influenced by Kirby's work. As a result, it's said that it will introduce the worlds of both the Eternals and Deviants, with connections to several existing characters planned.
It's said that the movie will delve deep into the history of the MCU, so this is clearly going to be a big deal. How do you feel about this possible 2020 slate for Marvel Studios? Share your thoughts below.
