Samuel L. Jackson talked about the upcoming movie ‘The Marvels‘ in a recent interview. Since the film’s release has been pushed to July 2023, the actor also shared his thoughts about the delay. Jackson has been part of the MCU since 2008. His Marvel character Nick Fury debuted in ‘Iron Man.’
The legendary actor appeared on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ and revealed that ‘The Marvels‘ movie would undergo reshoots in London in August. Jackson also revealed some details about ‘Secret Invasion‘ – the MCU TV series starring him as Fury.
Samuel L. Jackson Gives ‘The Marvels’ Update
Kimmel asked ‘The Pulp Fiction‘ star whether filming had wrapped on the Disney Plus show. His reply was, “No, I’m not done. I’m on my way back to London, I guess at some point in August. But I got to go back to do stuff with ‘The Marvels’ and I got to do stuff for ‘Secret Invasion‘.” It seems that August is going to be a busy month for Samuel.
Back in April, various outlets revealed that Marvel Studios had delayed ‘The Marvels‘ launch date for a second time. The ‘Captain Marvel‘ sequel, will pick up plot points from the Disney+ series ‘Ms Marvel‘ and ‘WandaVision.’ This has caused a delay as it was originally supposed to land in theatres in November 2022.
However, its launch was pushed back to February 2023 owing to the pandemic. It was again delayed until July 2023. Currently, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania‘ is further along in the production pipeline than ‘The Marvels‘.
All About MCU’s Upcoming Projects
Marvel has also elected to swap the MCU Phase 4 projects’ launch dates around. This means Ant-Man’s third solo movie replaced ‘The Marvels‘ in the latter’s February 2023 slot. Based on Jackson’s latest comments, it appears The Marvels needs more time (and some reshoots) before it’s ready to go.
As for ‘Secret Invasion‘, Marvel is yet to settle on an official release date for the Disney Plus series. The show was expected to launch sometime in 2022 alongside the likes of ‘Moon Knight‘ and ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.’ Principal photography wrapped between late January and early February, according to Marvel insiders including Charles Murphy.
Clearly, though, ‘Secret Invasion‘ also requires more time to get ready for audience viewing. With Marvel Studios’ 2022 slate already looking stacked, it may well be that Marvel holds ‘Secret Invasion‘ back until early 2023.
