The Batman
As many 2020 movies find themselves pushed to 2021 due tocoronavirus , several flick originally set to be released in 2021 may be pushed back to late years . start out with the holdup of the next James Bond motion picture , No sentence to Die , studios have start out delaying summertime 2020 movies to either later in the class or just to 2021 , given that there are only a few smear available .
This is made worse by production shutdowns across the industry . Most major studios have exclude down all active movie production until the situation improves , though no one knows when that might happen . Some big 2020 movies , includingFast and Furious 9,Morbius , andGhostbusters : Afterlifehave already been push back to 2021 . And some studio are aggressively trying to get motion-picture show out in 2020 , but there will be limited viable release dates left , forcing films to be delayed to next twelvemonth , causing a massive , industry - broad release date shift .

With several big2021 movie productions keep out down due to COVID-19 , their release date could slip into 2022 . Between assay to finish filming , drive through post - product , and finding the correct release date , many of the follow big movies are likely to be pushed from 2021 to 2022 , if not later .
The Matrix 4
One of the first big movies set to come out in 2021,The Matrix 4 , the long - expect continuation to the previous 1990s / early 2000sMatrixtrilogy , is manoeuvre by Lana Wachowski and set to be free on May 21 , 2021 . It had been shooting in San Francisco and was about tostart film in Berlin when production shut down .
Warner Bros. '' initial reaction to the coronavirus pandemic suggested concern about hitting the passing escort . WB did n’t delayThe Matrix 4 ’s yield until after almost every other major studio apartment had already done so . This would suggest some taciturnity to decelerate down and mislay that former summertime release date thatThe MatrixandThe Matrix Reloadeddid so well with . afford that all of the Matrix flick are effects - heavy blockbuster that require protracted post - yield and even reshoots , it was in all probability already running on a tight schedule . If hold up , it could still release later in the year , perhaps in November likeThe Matrix Revolutions , so there ’s a little wriggle room for it to still come out in 2021 .
The other major complicating factor is Keanu Reeves ' schedule , especially concerningJohn Wick 4 . BothJohn Wick 4andThe Matrix 4are set to be let go of on May 21 , 2021 , which seems probable to exchange now . The plan seemed to be thatJohn Wick 4would scud afterThe Matrix 4 , but now that situation is in limbo . The two undertaking are owned by dissimilar studios ( Warner Bros for The Matrix , Lionsgate for John Wick ) , a scheduling fight between the two could get mussy if one or the other does n’t get delay significantly . While the current closedown is the most likely make ofThe Matrix 4getting pushed back to 2022 , Reeves ' docket could also get in the way of yield going smoothly .
Jurassic World: Dominon
Jurassic World : Dominionis the 6th movie in theJurassic Parkfranchise and the third since it was revitalized withJurassic Worldin 2015.Jurassic Worlddirector Colin Trevorrow returns for this instalment , currently lay out to unfreeze on June 11 , 2021.Jurassic cosmos : Dominionwas about a calendar month into filmingwhen it was closing , and that output delay is likely to push it back into 2022 .
compare to late movies , Jurassic World ’s principal picture taking pass between April and August 2014 , for a June 2015 release date . Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdomwas filmed from February to July 2017 , coming out in June 2018 . SinceDominionstarted film in February , that suggests it was looking to wrap product in July , giving nearly a yr for post - product . Jurassic Parkmovies need foresighted post - production due to the amount of CGI needed tosupplement the animatronic dinosaursthat are the chief draw poker of the serial .
hit the June loss day of the month is also a heavy fear . EveryJurassic Parkmovie has make out out between May and July , with bothJurassic ParkandJurassic Worldsetting the biggest opening weekend recordwith that summertime sack engagement , so Universal is unbelievable to require to move it out of the summer . If it ’s delay , even if it could be released later in the year , Dominionis likely to come out in summertime 2022 alternatively .
There ’s also a hypothesis of conflicts with actors , especially for Chris Pratt and his commitment to the Marvel motion picture . If theGuardians of the Galaxy come out inThor : Love and ThunderorGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3finally get into production , Pratt ’s scheduling conflicts could become a sticking full stop forJurassic World : territorial dominion .

The Batman , star Robert Pattinson and head by Matt Reeves , is currently typeset to come out on June 25 , 2021 . After shoot in London since January 2020,The Batmanproduction was put on holdon March 14th due to coronavirus . Comparing the production of this movie to otherBatmanmovies is difficult because of a deficiency of detail about whatThe Batmanwill seem like . The noir story and dark-skinned aesthetic suggests a comparison to the Christopher Nolan movies . Nolan ’s shooting schedule took longer than most due to his strange approach of filming everything himself rather of using a second unit anddoing big action setpieces practically , so a direct comparison is unmanageable to find .
Even without other picture show to liken it to , there are a mountain of signs a delay forThe Batmanseems inevitable . Similar toThe Matrix 4 , Warner Bros. dragged its heels on shut down production . Even as other studios were shutting down their output , The Batman preserve take . When a delay was declare , it was only " on hold " for two hebdomad . Near the remnant of that two weeks , Matt Reeves enunciate that yield was shut down indefinitely . While the release has n’t been delayed yet , there are reports thatThe Batmanhas only a small hazard of releasing in June 2021 . Warner probably wants to hit this particular appointment to couple with every pre - DC Extended UniverseBatmanmovie releasing in the summer . Coming out earlier in the year means it can be delayed and still remain in 2021 , but at the price of overlook a prime summer spill date .
Mission: Impossible 7
Mission : unimaginable 7 , star Tom Cruise and guide by Christopher McQuarrie , is presently set to release on July 23 , 2021 . It was correct to be shoot back - to - back withMission : Impossible 8 , though product was exclude down becauseMission : Impossible 7is set mostly in Italy , which has been arrive at peculiarly hard by the coronavirus pandemic . Being link to that one fix adds uncertainty about hit its spill date as they ca n’t easily move production elsewhere .
If there ’s any saving grace forMission : Impossible 7 , it ’s that post - production on these picture show have been quite light . deputation : Impossible - Rogue NationandMission : Impossible - Fallout , both also directed by McQuarrie , wrapped production in March 2015 and 2018 , severally , and were released in July . Production for these movies were long ( August to March forRogue Nation , April to March forFallout , with a two - calendar month wait afterTom Cruise was injured ) , so time put on by shorter post - production may be lost to a longer time in principal photography . This suggests filming in Italy would have to start back up around July 2020 to make a July 2021 release , which seems improbable at this time .

Uncharted
Uncharted , asterisk Tom Holland and directed by Ruben Fleischer , is an adaptation of the video recording biz serial , presently set to eject on October 8 , 2021 . output onUnchartedwas already delay indefinitelyon March 16 , another in the serial ofdelays forUnchartedstretching back to 2008 .
BeforeUncharted ’s most recent delay , it was schedule to set off filming in April 2020 and press release on March 5 , 2021 . All of those dates are up in the air now , but that schedule suggests thatUnchartedwould need to start shooting October or November 2020 to make its current October 2021 release date . This is a plausible time to start filming , except that asterisk Tom Holland also leads Sony’sSpider - Manfranchise .
Spider - Man : Homecoming 3is the real threat toUncharted . Both are Sony properties , and if there ’s any programing conflict between the two , Sony will chooseSpider - Man . It ’s a safe , well - known property , as opposed to the gamble that TV game adjustment still are at the box office . If this delay induce scheduling conflict between the two , Unchartedis in all probability getting agitate back at least to 2022 , if not further .
Fantastic Beasts 3
Fantastic beast 3 , directed by David Yates , is the next instalment in theHarry Potterspinoff series , presently set to unfreeze on November 12 , 2021 . output was set to start in March 2020 , but was check that same day . Coming out recently in 2021 , any hoo-ha to its production could getFantastic Beasts 3delayed to 2022 .
Fantastic creature and Where to obtain Themwas shoot from August 2015 to January 2016 , come out in November 2016.Fantastic animal : The Crimes of Grindelwaldwas filmed from July to December 2017 , released in November 2018 . Thanks to heavy ocular effects and prospicient spud schedules , those movies occupy about 15 month from the start of film to publish . This suggests thatFantastic Beasts 3could start as late as August 2020 and still make its release date , though any little delay past that could push it out of 2021 .
Another ramification is Ezra Miller ’s commitment toThe Flash . The Flashis still position to release on July 1 , 2022 , though that ’s up in the air withpre - yield put on appreciation due to coronavirus . This could cause some scheduling issue for Miller , perchance disrupting shooting forFantastic animate being 3unlessThe Flashis delayed yet again .
