Which Marvel Movie Will Get That May 2020 Release Date?

Marvel Studios has done many things to make their mark in Hollywood, and one perfect example is how they command the box office in early May every year. It was on that weekend back in 2008 that they launched Jon Favreau’s Iron Man, and they have had a new feature in theaters dominating during that period just about every year since — the exception being 2013 when Captain America: The Winter Solider had an April release date. The trend will continue in 2019 thanks to the release of Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers: Endgame, but as things stand right now May 2020 is a giant question mark.

While technically never 100% confirmed, Marvel originally planned to have James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ready for release the first weekend of May in 2020 — specifically on May 1st — but that plan dissolved in summer 2018 when the studio fired Gunn and delayed the cosmic blockbuster. Since then we have been waiting for the company to announce what movie would be taking its place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe release schedule, but no such announcement has been made to date.

Production on a project would have to start pretty damn soon in order to be ready for theatrical release in May 2020, and there hasn’t been any news regarding any in-development feature being at that stage… but it is noteworthy that there are a number of Marvel Studios films in the works with directors attached. So let’s look at the slate, and do some speculating regarding what we can expect to follow Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home as the 24th MCU blockbuster.
