Disappointing but it's not too bad. Only a few months in most cases.
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

Seems like the reason isn't covid or theater issues, but more a case of Marvel just finding it too tough to work on 14 different productions all at the same time. The huge ramp-up in Disney+ tv shows was too much when they also increased the movies up to 4 or 5 a year.
Maybe it is to get out of the way of The Batman?

Apparently the whole pre D+ era of Marvel tv was forced on Kevin Feige. He wanted to use some of the newly reacquired characters in the movies but executives blocked it on the idea that the Avengers/Guardians were enough for him to work with and the returning characters would be better used as the backbone of a 'planned tv empire'. Which he got no say in.
Another reason to expect the MCU won't remain true to the old tv canon moving forward.

Maybe he's playing an alternate universe version of himself. I could see him doing that.
Does anyone else see "Quantumania" and think "Quadrophenia"? Just me then?

Well, I'll take the delays if it means it will get done.
39 minutes of the NEW Spiderman film:
Gael García Bernal is set to star in Werewolf by Night, per Variety.
I hadn't even heard of this comic until the news of the Halloween special so I have zero expectations.
And, as you said, García Bernal is terrific.

Like I was saying before, I hope this means they're planning to do some kind of Nightstalkers/Midnight Sons project (either in films or on Disney+) with Werewolf by Night, Blade, and Moon Knight, along with I'm sure a couple of other characters who haven't shown up yet in the MCU (Ghost Rider?) all brought together by Doctor Strange.
I wonder if Universal would have a problem with that. Technically they only have a trademark on their specific designs for those public-domain characters, as I understand it, but their lawyers might argue that Marvel films about those monsters would dominate the marketplace and make it hard for Universal to succeed at doing their own.
Would it matter? As far as I'm aware, the characters are public domain, full stop. Its not Disney's problem if the market gets saturated with movies about those monsters, there are probably a dozen indy horror films a year with those characters, anyway. If Hammer could make movies with Dracula, Frankenstein, etc in the 50s, Marvel almost certainly won't have a problem in the 21st century. Universal doesn't get first dibs to films about public domain characters. If their unique design elements aren't used, they have no leg to stand on. Universal having a harder time is just bad luck for them, they're not legally entitled to have no competition over films about characters that they don't even own.
Although Disney is a company that has tried to put copyright protections over its own public domain characters in the past.
