Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Cinema’s longest post-marketing movie delays list

[youtube id=bu9e410C__I] Trailer debut: October 13th 2017 Original release: April 13th 2018 New release: TBC Difference: 722+ days Between trailer and release: 900+ days Reasons: Delayed to February 22nd 2019 to avoid competition with Deadpool 2, and to carry out reshoots for broader horror elements (and a new character) in response to imperfect test screenings. As a result, Gambit had been pushed to June 7th 2019. An additional delay was placed after X-Men: Dark Phoenix took its spot, its initial spot being taken by Bohemian Rhapsody, giving The New Mutants extra time for reshoots and universe development and pushing it even further to August. In May, Disney delayed the film to 2020 when neither they or Fox could find a way to market the film post-merger, pulling Gambit off the release schedule. Rumours spoke of Feige's interest in retconning the film into the MCU, but Josh Boone confirmed no reshoots ended up taking place. Finally, three weeks prior to release, the film was postponed indefinitely for reasons that likewise affected a large number of films listed below. Benefits: As Josh Boone has never directed a horror film before, the influence from Get Out and IT could result in a much more subversive franchise film. Flaws: This is the first time a cinematic universe entry has experienced this kind of delay, pushing it after not only Deadpool 2 but Dark Phoenix and initially Gambit, currently in development hell. Worst case scenario is that the film could fall into the case of overdoing it, and following a two-year delay could result in one of the greatest fiascoes in cinema history. It's Fox's fault for refusing to give its filmmakers the freedom they hoped for to create a genuine horror film like it was marketed to be in the first place, and if anything could end up as the Amityville: The Awakening of comic book movies. In addition, this trailer was seen in front of both Happy Death Day movies.

[youtube id=uIxnTi4GmCo] Trailer debut: July 18th 2017 Original release: March 2nd 2018 New release: August 17th 2018 Difference: 169 days Between trailer and release: 396 days Reasons: No reason given. Was initially delayed to September 14th 2018, 197 days after its trailer's debut, before swapping its release date with White Boy Rick's, possibly due to the latter having more awards potential. Benefits: Scored favourable reviews amongst critics. Flaws: The final date is almost precisely one year later than its initial date under the title 'The Solutrean', almost 13 months later than its trailer's debut, and precisely 820 days after filming had ended.
