‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ Delayed Release in UK – Due to the World Cup

Ant-Man and the Wasp won’t release in the UK on July 6th, but a whole month later on August 3rd because of a very odd reason.

Marvel have changed the UK release date of its upcoming highly-anticipated MCU movie ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ because it does not want to complete with the football World Cup… seriously.

The World Cup takes place every four years and is undoubtedly one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and unfortunately for British Marvel fans the studio has opted to delay the release of its Ant-Man sequel in the UK to reduce competition with the World Cup, which apparently makes people less likely to attend the cinema, well, enough people to merit the month-long delay.

It’s a pretty bazaar decision from Marvel, who believe that ticket sales will be affected enough to delay the release of one of it’s most highly-anticipated upcoming properties because of a football competition. Fans expressed their dismay on Social Media almost immediately.

The initial release has ONLY changed for the UK. The release in the US remains unchanged, whereas elsewhere in Europe (where the World Cup is arguably bigger) the release date is untouched.

The movie will remain in UK cinemas for the same duration of time, making it stay on the big screen a month longer, giving audiences 30 days longer to get a chance to view it.

In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ant-Man joins forces with the Wasp on an urgent new mission to uncover secrets from the past. The movie sees the return of Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Pym & Michael Peña as Luis. Michelle Pfeiffe joins the cast as Wasp.
