Major Marvel sequel ‘not cancelled’ after all but it won't be what fans would expect

Marvel Studios are reportedly scrapping three MCU sequels at Disney's behest, but the latest news is that one will be saved after all - yet not as fans may think.

Last week, respected and reliable scooper Daniel Richtman reported that Disney is scrapping three major Marvel movies in the MCU.

Those mentioned were Ant-Man 4, Captain 3 and 2.

As for why the studio is allegedly shelving them, apparently it’s because they think the sequels will bomb at the box office just as their previous outings did.

But now another scooper claims that one of these movies is still going ahead, just not as fans would have expected.

Get Disney+ for cheap before the huge price rise

Get Disney+ for £36 cheaper before the November 1 price rise.

You can enjoy all your favourite movies, series and shows and be happy that you managed to avoid the price rise.

Disney Plus is the only streaming service with every entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including recent blockbusters like Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness as soon as they leave multiplexes 

According to MyTimeToShineHello: “ETERNALS 2 is NOT canceled, it TRANSFORMED (into another project).”

Presumably, this means there won't be an Eternals 2 but the characters will be incorporated into another movie with other superheroes.

Whatever the case, hopefully that Harry Styles as Eros tease in the first film’s end credits scene will finally pay off.
