Marvel has announced the release date for another untitled film, this one dated May 4, 2018.
The news comes less than a week after Disney and Marvel staked out five other dates from 2017 to 2019.
The May 4, 2018 slot was vacated Wednesday morning by Sony when the studio disclosed it had undated “The Amazing Spider-Man 4” as part of re-positioning its key franchise.
Marvel is likely to announce several of the new titles as part of the next wave of films that make up its cinematic universe at next week’s San Diego Comic-Con. It presents on July 26.
“Guardians of the Galaxy,” which bows Aug. 1, is Marvel’s tenth film since it started financing and producing its own films beginning with “Iron Man” and “The Incredible Hulk” in 2008. Should that film succeed at the box office, sequels and spinoffs are likely and could land the property one of the new slots.
Marvel already had a third “Captain America” scheduled for May 6, 2016, pitting it against Warner Bros.’ “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Another possible franchise starter, “Doctor Strange,” is also dated for July 8, 2016.
