Editor’s note: One in a series of stories marking the 100th day of the WGA strike. As the WGA strike clocks 100 days; simply put — the motion picture studios had always been bracing for this.
Unlike the current SAG-AFTRA strike which forced the global shutdown of Hollywood movies including Gladiator 2 and Deadpool 3, the WGA strike, though largely considered to be a TV and streaming fight, has left its mark on the motion picture side — most predominantly on initially shaking up the theatrical release schedule.
Franchise leader Disney was the first studio to overhaul its calendar with the move of 21 movies from 2025 through 2031. Chief among them was the delay of James Cameron’s long-in-the-works Avatar 3 pushing from Christmas 2024 to 2025, and several Marvel projects re-dated including Phase 6 finales Avengers: Kang Dynasty going from the start of May 2025 to 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars shifting from May 2026 to May 2027.
Avatar 5 alone jumped three years from Dec. 22, 2028 to Dec 19, 2031. However, given Marvel’s softer box office track record since coming out of the pandemic, the studio figured it was better not to rush unbaked pics into production, rather wait out the strikes.
