Many MCU fans have been disappointed by the recent postponement of the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels, but a new source suggests that there may be some good news in this bad development. The Marvels was the most recent Phase 5 postponement, and it won’t be the last. The superhero superpower appears to be going through some quality control checks following Phase 4’s less-than-stellar reaction, something Marvel was eager to address moving forward. But, the Captain Marvel sequel is not unexpected. The project is expected to be “madness-filled,” and after a second batch of reshoots in January 2023 to attempt and make it “as fantastic as possible,” after a period of reshoots in late 2022.
Delay of Captain Marvel 2 Has a Good Cause
The Marvels’ latest delay may be an indication that the MCU is attempting to address some of its most visible problems, according to a recent story by The Wrap. Disney pulled The Marvels into an autumn release window, shifting the much awaited Captain Marvel sequel to November 10, from its original release date of late July 2023. This is the second postponement for the film. Instead, it has accelerated the debut of Justin Simien’s Haunted Mansion movie, a work inspired by the well-liked Disney theme park experience. Insiders at the company claim that this change was made because Marvel Studios intended to give The Marvels’ post-production extra time, maybe so that the movie’s VFX might be enhanced. It was anticipated that a delay would result from The Marvels’ extensive production schedule and Disney’s desire to avoid a nine-month gap between MCU movies. Captain America: New World Order won’t be available until May 2024, as fans are aware. Instead, it appears like Marvel is staying true to its promise and making efforts to strengthen its connection with the VFX creators that enable its films.
The MCU has significantly boosted its output in recent years, which hasn’t been well received by fans or the artists who create each new installment. Last year, VFX artists blasted Marvel Studios as a terrible employer, driving some of them out of the VFX field completely. Former VFX artist Dhruv Govil said that while Marvel is cutting costs, he had witnessed “far too many coworkers break down after being overworked.” Others who work in VFX joined in, declaring that they were “sick of working on Marvel programmes” and that the work has never been pleasurable, not even in the early MCU years.
Marvel Studios declared after the incident that it will alter its practises, take steps to raise the bar, and deal with the issues that VFX firms are having as a result of their output’s strong reliance on CGI. Fans and viewers have criticised several projects, including the most recent offering from Marvel Studios, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, in addition to the working conditions for VFX. It now appears that the MCU is another evidence that the studio is succeeding in its mission, which is excellent news for all of us given the delay to The Marvels.
Disney demonstrated that it is willing to put in the time and effort when Avatar: The Way of the Water offered some of the most stunning visuals in movie history. Marvel Studios could easily be a leading figure in the VFX industry with the amount of profit and investment that it has, and Disney proved that it is willing to put in the time and effort. The Marvels has time to become a visual delight if the studio genuinely wants to enhance its reputation and the lives of the dedicated artists behind each release, yet only time will tell how much the MCU is ready to invest in its VFX.
On November 10, The Marvels is scheduled to make its theatrical debut.
