Marvel swaps release dates of The Marvels and Ant-Man: Quantumania

Marvel Studios has swapped the release dates of The Marvels and Ant-Man: Quantumania.

The Marvels was originally supposed to release on February 17, 2023, while Quantumania was slated to release on July 28, 2023. Now, the titles have exchanged these dates with each other. 

According to reports, the change was simply based on the fact that the Ant-Man film was further in the creative process than the other.

Quantumania, which was originally set to release in February 2023 was postponed last October when Marvel pushed its entire 2022 release slate to give more time for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to complete filming and post-production, and to accommodate production delays on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever following an injury to star Letitia Wright.

Quantumania, the third instalment of the Ant-Man series is expected to continue the multiverse storyline launched with the 2021 Disney+ series Loki. The Marvels, on the other hand, is set to tie in with two Disney+ shows: 2021's WandaVision and this June's Ms. Marvel

Meanwhile, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the next MCU release and the film is gearing up for release on May 6.
