After experiencing numerous obstacles as a result of the ongoing writers’ strike in Hollywood, Disney+ stops work on a significant MCU Phase 5 project was suspended.
Since May 2, the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) has been refusing to work in order to demand increased pay and a number of other guarantees.
Hollywood is already feeling the effects of this action as many forthcoming MCU films have been delayed, and even Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 has been put on hold in support of the striking writers.
Thunderbolts, Wonder Man, and Blade are the three MCU Phase 5 projects that have thus far suspended production or had a production delay.
Daredevil on Disney+ Stops work MCU Phase 5
According to a report from Deadline, Daredevil: Born Again has entirely suspended production in New York after already stopping production once in May and even again on June 12 as a result of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike.
It is unknown exactly when production on the Phase 5 Disney+ show will start up again after the WGA strike is over.
With no end in sight, the strike has now been continuing on for more than a month since it started on May 2. The most recent WGA strike, which started in November 2007 and ended in February 2008, lasted three months.
Recently, writers in New York have been regularly picketing Disney+’s Daredevil, which has resulted in the two production halts.
Daredevil: Born Again, a historically prolonged production for Marvel Studios, is currently scheduled to debut in spring 2024 according to the official Phase 5 slate after filming continued through December this year.
Will Daredevil on Disney+ be postponed?
Throughout the writers’ strike, Marvel Studios has done its utmost to keep Daredevil: Born Again in production. The studio’s decision to shut down seems to be a sign that it wants to change the script in some way, but this won’t be feasible until the strike is over.
While this may sound unpleasant, it demonstrates Marvel Studios’ willingness to make the necessary radical changes to maintain the project’s quality rather than just moving forward without making changes that could improve the series.
Since production won’t start again until the strike is done, according to a report by Deadline, this suspension is currently practically indefinite. little specific date has been set for the strike’s end, and since the writers’ union and the studios are still at odds, there is little indication that it will do so soon.
Fans should be prepared for delays to Daredevil: Born Again and the rest of the MCU slate if the WGA strike goes on for an extended period of time and production is still unable to resume. The Disney+ relaunch had previously appeared to be coming as soon as Spring 2024, but a delay until at least late next year now appears imminent.
When Marvel Studios made their most recent official statement, Daredevil: Born Again was scheduled to come out in the spring of 2024.
