New Captain America Movie, Thunderbolts Team-Up and Avengers: Kang Dynasty All Pushed Back

The new Captain America won’t wield his mighty shield quite as soon as expected.

Disney announced a super amount of date changes for upcoming Marvel films, including the Falcon and the Winter Soldier follow-up Captain America: Brave New World, the Thunderbolts team-up movie that involves antiheroes from Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye, and the Avengers movie that is squarely focused on the Kang character first introduced in Loki then revisited in Ant-Man 3.
