Marvel Studios swapped the release dates for two of its 2023 blockbusters: The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

According to Variety, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will arrive in theaters on Feb. 17, 2023, while The Marvels has been pushed to July 28, 2023. While neither Marvel nor parent company Disney provided an official reason for the change, it's believed the movies were shuffled because Quantumania is further along in production.

The Marvels is the sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel, with Brie Larson reprising her role as Carol Danvers and being joined by Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau. "I wish I could talk about it," Larson recently teased. "I can talk about my feelings around it. I can say that… I can’t say enough about how incredible our director, Nia DaCosta, is and what an honor it was to work with her, what an immense talent she is, how much I just feel like she’s the future. And I could also say that, when I read the script for the first time, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I was like, this is bonkers."

"It’s the thing that I love about Marvel, is that they continue to reinvent," she continued. "They continue to do the thing that you just would never think would be possible in these films. And they’re not afraid to go there. So I’m super excited about what we did. I think there are some huge personal achievements of mine that I’m really excited about sharing, but you know, it’s fun to have a bit of a secret. And it’s fun to know that, when this film comes out, people are going to be delighted. And I get to keep that to myself for a little bit longer."
