The Marvels is one of 2023's most anticipated Marvel projects. It will be a sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel and 2022's Ms. Marvel series. The title will see Brie Larson's Carol Danvers join forces with Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau as they try to figure out how they end up switching places with one another when using their powers.
The film was originally set to release on July 28, 2023, however, it has now been pushed back to November 10, 2023. This is one possible reason why fans did not get to watch The Marvels trailer during the 2023 Superbowl Event, which featured trailers from other Disney projects such as Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3 and Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny.
Why was The Marvels delayed?
It is currently unknown why Disney delayed The Marvels as they have not yet put out an official statement addressing the reason. One possible reason could be the mixed-to-negative reception of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, after early viewers and fans of the film criticized the CGI and visual effects.

Disney CEO Bob Iger recently revealed at the Disney Q1 Financial Year Results Conference Call that the House of Mouse would be cutting back on content produced to ensure better quality projects for its brands such as Marvel and Star Wars.
Another reason for the delay would be to give the post-production and visual effects team more time to polish the CGI and visual effects and make sure everything is up to the mark. This comes on the heels of Phase 4 being criticized by multiple fans and viewers for its lackluster quality.
Fans recently got excited about the upcoming release as Marvel Studios shared a first-look poster for The Marvels. It featured the three titular leads: Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, and Monica Rambeau, stacked on top of each other.
The Marvels' earlier July 28, 2023 slot has now been given to another Disney project, Haunted Mansion, which features Rosario Dawson, LaKeith Steinfeld, Owen Wilson, and Danny DeVito. June and July will see the release of several much-anticipated films including The Flash and Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
According to The Direct, other upcoming MCU projects that were originally slated for 2023, such as Loki season 2, Echo, and Ironheart will also be delayed.
