Before the announcement, fans were aware of another untitled Marvel film set for 12 January 2018: many believe it to be Deadpool 2’s release date.
Because there weren’t enough superhero films in development at the moment, Fox has announced two new mysterious Marvel films based in their X-Men universe.
The sequel to the first Kingsman film, The Golden Circle, was pushed back to 6 October.
The release date is widely believed to be for Avatar 2, the first film having been released the same week in 2009.
