Another highly anticipated film has been pushed back in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the direct sequel to 1984’s Ghostbusters and 1989’s Ghostbusters 2, was scheduled for a July 2020 release date, but Sony Pictures has pushed the release date back to March 5, 2021.
The first trailer for the film was released in December, giving fans a first look at the sequel starring Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, McKenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard as they battle ghosts in a small Oklahoma town.
Other Sony films have also been pushed back including Jared Leto‘s Morbius, which follows the actor as Michael Morbius, a scientist with a rare blood disorder who goes to extreme lengths to try and find a cure.
Along with Leto, the movie also stars Adria Arjona, Tyrese Gibson and Matt Smith. Morbius was moved from a July 2020 release to debuting on March 19, 2021.
Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, Fatherhood, Greyhound, Tom Holland’s Uncharted and an untitled Sony Marvel film have also been delayed.
This is the latest string of movies that have had release dates pushed back due to coronavirus. While some films, like the animated kids feature Trolls World Tour and the rom-com The Lovebirds, have moved from theatrical to digital releases, other major films have either been pushed back or delayed indefinitely altogether.
