The sequel to Holland’s Spider-Man: Far From Home was scheduled to begin filming this summer, but a new report seems to cast some doubt on that timeline.
Reporting on the delays resulting from the spread of COVID-19 Sight & Sound Magazine claimed that the Marvel Studios project is one of the victims of the current pandemic.
“Blockbuster productions on pause include The Batman, an as-yet-untitled Spider-Man sequel and Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid remake.”

In addition to Marvel Studios’ productions being impacted, the release date of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow has also been delayed. The film was supposed to be released on May 1, but now it remains undated.
