Indiana Jones 5 Release Date Pushed Forward

Yesterday, Disney unleashed a wave of new release dates for everything from Star Wars Episode IX to The Lion King, but something that was missing is the fact that one of Marvel’s Phase 4 movies has now been delayed.

Originally set to be released on July 10th, 2020, it’s now arriving on August 7th, 2020 instead. That’s because the fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones franchise has taken that July slot.

An official reason hasn’t been revealed, but chances are that Disney wants to give the movie more time to play to summer audiences in order to ensure that it does strong box office business. After all, it’s clear that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has reduced interest in the series while Marvel films, on the other hand, are a hit regardless of when they’re released.
