“I mean, when it was pushed back, it was pushed back,” Feige shared with Collider. “Meaning the release date, because it’s not coming out—although we’ve never announced a release date actually, but it was gonna happen sooner rather than later, initially of course. Outside of knowing that we’re gonna use [James Gunn’s] draft, [we have] been focusing on other projects.”

Captain Marvel is now running worldwide in theaters. Other upcoming Marvel projects due to come out this year include Avengers: Endgame releasing on April 26th and followed by Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 5th.
