According to Deadline, BND doesn't wrap until mid-December. Is this the shortest post production timeline for a Marvel movie? Is there a chance the release gets pushed back again?

This article hurts my brain.
Stillwindows952025-11-18 15:33
Yeah and it's objectively wrong too. I don't think actors who dip into stage are 'proper' they are still just actors.
Some of the best acting of all time imo has been on the big screen. Seen a lot of stage shows in my time and been blown away by some great acting on stage, but 90% of the time in my opinion, it's decent at best and I do find myself thinking that maybe some stage actors couldn't break into Hollywood because they aren't big screen material (nothing wrong with that, not everyone can be an A lister). A lot of the singers I've seen in theatre, the people I saw in musicals like Wicked, The Producers, Le Mis and Chicago were fine, but the movies were amazing and polished, and anyone can say 'yeah because they can do multiple takes' but a theatre show really is just doing it over and over.
AHH rant over.

"... is what's known as"
The author isn't saying himself Sink is a proper actress. In this situation, that term is what people in the industry refer to as theater-only or theater-first actors.
Stillwindows952025-11-18 15:47
I mean I work in the industry (TV and movies, mostly straight to Sky though, have dabbled in stage work) and I've never heard that term before but ok.
I just googled it to ensure I'm not missing something and I'm not seeing anyone using this as a terminology. In fact if you Google it you pretty much exclusively find lists of screen actors.
Like maybe stage actors call themselves proper actors, but I've honestly never seen this term before in all my years working.
scooter-4112025-11-18 16:28
What is “straight to sky”?
Stillwindows952025-11-18 16:39
Yeah my bad I forget Sky isn't known as Sky across the world.
It's basically HBO/Peacock (I work with mostly EU divisions and not the US stuff), like HBO stuff here in the UK airs on Sky or NowTV (which is owned by Sky.)
Sky is owned by Comcast who owns a lot of media companies like Peacock, NBC, DreamWorks for example. Comcast does not own HBO though.
So what I mean is that I've only ever worked on one theatrical release and most of my stuff is straight to TV.
scooter-4112025-11-18 16:47
I don’t know why I didn’t think that. I know what Sky is despite being American. I thought it was more of a phrase though. Like when I was working in broadcast news we launched our Roku/Smart tv apps and they call those OTT apps, for over the top. I don’t think the phrase makes a lot of sense and I thought maybe straight to sky was something along those lines.
Thanks for clarifying!
Stillwindows952025-11-18 16:53
Hahah no worries and honestly when I first heard the term OTT that was my first thought too, I didn't even bother to ask at first as it didn't directly relate to my work at the time because I was in the production side to begin with.
I got more involved with OTT vendors when I was handing over delivery materials, first stage QCing our own stuff before handing over and so on.
VariousVarieties2025-11-18 16:41
I've heard of the term "legit" being used to separate actors who've done "respectable" stage work (i.e. "legitimate theatre") from those who've only done screen or musical work.
I first heard of that term in a story that when David Ross guest starred on the TV series Red Dwarf, he kept asking the other actors if they were "legit"
(EDIT: Because I've been downvoted I should clarify: I don't *agree* with separating actors up into tiers like that! I'm just saying that it's another term I've come across.)
Stillwindows952025-11-18 16:49
Yeah my issue with that sentiment is that I think screen actors would probably think the same about stage actors so I just tend to think of them all as actors. I just think it is just a bit pretentious saying proper or legit actor because it assumes that stage/theatre is the only real acting.
Besides, the actual term for a 'legit/proper actor' based on the definition coming together here is actually just 'Thespian' which comes from 2500 years ago. It's a bit old school though so it tends to only be applied to aging actors for some reason And over time has been adopted by screen focused actors.

Yo sorry if this has sparked some negative comments under yours. I only really meant to correct you.
Stillwindows952025-11-19 08:14
Yo that's not fair. They made a mistake, you don't need to call them out on things like that.
garchican2025-11-18 18:34
Stage and screen acting are two *completely* different disciplines. Some screen actors are completely lost on stage (Nicole Kidman) and some theater actors just don’t translate to screen (Ethel Merman).
CaptHayfever2025-11-18 23:26
Ethel Merman was flawless in Airplane. ;)
Scary-Command22322025-11-18 15:24
Wasn't that the same as NWH with Christmas in the middle making the period a few weeks longer?
EntrepreneurAble66562025-11-18 15:43
NWH finished filming in March 2021
theknyte2025-11-18 15:26
That could be reshoots. Actors are contracted for the initial filming period, and then to return later to film any reshoots or changes needed.
Usually after principal photography ends, they start editing the film together. That takes a while, and it's not until after that stage is done, will they know what additional or reworked shots they'll need with the actors.
And, the post work will be going the entire time this is happening.
AJerkForAllSeasons2025-11-18 15:29
"Proper actress"
That's pretty pretentious.
vivianvisionsburner2025-11-18 15:40
"... is what's known as"
The author isn't saying *himself* Sink is a proper actress. In this situation, that term is what people in the industry refer to as theater-only or theater-first actors.
lemon_cake_or_death2025-11-18 15:50
That's not true at all. The term for a stage actor is stage actor.
Stillwindows952025-11-18 15:51
Yeah I got the same copy pasted comment on my comment and I actually work in the TV, movie and stage industry (the company I work for does all of that and distribution too), it's pretty frustrating when people tell me what's common in the industry I work in despite being wrong.
AJerkForAllSeasons2025-11-18 16:01
That's even more pretentious if it's an accepted industry term.
dalcarr2025-11-18 16:58
Which its not. Never heard anyone refer to a theatre/stage actor as a "proper" actor while i was working in theatres
FerrusManlyManus2025-11-18 16:00
The author of that article is quite pretentious then
Idkboutdat22025-11-18 16:19
It reeks of Letterboxd
GranolaCola2025-11-18 20:08
I don’t think people in the movie app would call someone a fake actress for being in movies.
Idkboutdat22025-11-18 20:20
That 100000% would. That app is 99% pretentious dweebs.
GranolaCola2025-11-18 20:20
Yes, but they’re pretentious about *movies*
CaptHayfever2025-11-18 23:25
99% pretentious dweebs, & 1% Iman Vellani alt accounts.
justafanboy10102025-11-19 02:57
LOL damn
Epic_J23382025-11-18 16:32
How would you define "proper actress"
AJerkForAllSeasons2025-11-18 17:10
A person who acts for a living. But I would just call them an "actor".
Peimai2025-11-18 15:31
That probably why they started filming with the action sequences so they have longer for Post Production.
FerrusManlyManus2025-11-18 16:01
Yup. And they have extensive pre-viz for those scenes before they even film.
SpaceCaboose2025-11-18 16:24
Yep. For all we know, the big CGI stuff is done filming and they’re wrapping up smaller scenes. And studios don’t wait until filming is completed to start doing “post-production” stuff. Editing, CGI, etc starts as soon as they start getting footage.
Also, maybe she’s just doing reshoots in mid-December.
NoStandard36012025-11-18 17:20
yeah it definitely seems like theyre trying to buy some time with the action stuff
Sphezzle2025-11-18 17:43
Post production processes begin long before cameras start rolling.
macgart2025-11-18 19:51
Yeah. People complained about F4 not having a long time for post-production compared to Superman but F4 looked literally so good like the last thing you can complain about is the polish of VFX, set design, etc.
Willing_Half11482025-11-18 20:12
for real, sounds like they’re cutting it super close this time
vivianvisionsburner2025-11-18 15:42
Not sure about post, but it started filming around 13 months before release date which is what the other Spidey movies, Tbolts, and FF did.
It's called a pattern and it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it to me
Candypants242025-11-18 16:03
Sadie must have a pretty big role... She's been in London for quite a while now! Furthermore,she has another month left for filming...
ohmeohmyelliejean2025-11-18 16:40
She’s also just been announced to be doing Romeo and Juliet for the West End next year so some of her time in London might be preparing/auditioning for that.
Worthyness2025-11-18 22:06
Strike while the iron is hot. That's what Pedro is doing. And if she can make all her money now, then she can just do whatever the hell she wants for the rest of her life without issues
Techno_Core2025-11-18 16:08
WTF kind of pompous shit is that? lol.
Gambitismyheart2025-11-18 16:11
I didn’t read this article, but I'm wondering if anyone but me is a tad bit skeptical with her casting? 🤔 I mean I love her as Max, she's great. However, when I watched her in The Whale, she wasn't any different from her season 4 self.
I hope she can pull off the MCU vibe because I'd be really disappointed if she doesn’t differentiate from Max. I need to see her be an entirely different character and believe it.
RoxyFan20012025-11-18 18:24
Have you seen 'O'Dessa?' It is not for everybody but we LOVED it!! and I would go as far to say it was my favourite movie of the year. She is very different than Max in it and is Post-Apocalyptic Sci Fi Musical and Sadie sings and plays the guitar throughout the movie and is amazing and we bought the soundtrack and I still play it often. 💗
No I haven't. But looking at the links you sent she has a really nice voice. Maybe I'll check it out before season 5 starts.
Thank you!
RoxyFan20012025-11-20 06:37
You're welcome. 😀 Yeah. Sadie is an amazing singer and I hope she continues singing and releases albums in the future 'cause she is very talented and I think she could have success as both.
I hope you enjoy it.
LeSnazzyGamer2025-11-19 00:53
It's up to the director for how they want an actor to play their part.
Gambitismyheart2025-11-19 01:03
Not always. There's plenty of actors out there that have said in interviews the director wanted them to "create the character" or they give them "free rein" to do what they feel is right.
Cute_Source54172025-11-18 16:21
Worst case scenario, they could probably push the movie to August 2026? I mean I'm still shocked they have the date right next to Nolan's film which also stars Tom Holland...doesn't make sense to me
Gambitismyheart2025-11-18 16:35
Well, tbf Nolan's film is in their time slot. BND was announced in 2021 initially. Odyssey wasn't announced until 2024. As far as Tom, well, I guess "double feature"?🤷🏽♀️
onthenerdyside2025-11-18 17:55
Spideyssey?
Gambitismyheart2025-11-18 18:02
Hmmm. I like that! Start spreading it around and let's see if it catches on..

\*Marvel Studios locks the dungeon door on the CGI team\*
EightBiscuit012025-11-18 16:35
That’s not entirely true. Post doesn’t start the moment they’re done filming. The post teams are already working on editing and doing VFX on everything that has been shot already. They have 6 months of ONLY post production
TooFarGone6732025-11-19 14:21
The VFX teams usually start before filming has even started. This isn’t unusual at all
KostisPat2572025-11-18 16:39
Post-production begins a few weeks after filming. CGI is usually done very early on.
And yes, most MCU movies have had 6 months between the end of filming and release.

Repulsive_Season_9082025-11-19 07:05
Watch "The Whale". But yeah, she's been in theater for years, she was a Tony nominee for best actress last year.
RoxyFan20012025-11-18 18:26
So happy for Sadie!! 💗💗💗
Antrikshy2025-11-18 23:22
They don't start post production until after all the footage has been collected.
CaptHayfever2025-11-18 23:27
Mid-December to late-July is over 7 months.
Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-11-19 21:18
Both Homecoming and Far From Home began filming 12 months before their release with a 6 month post production to release window. You could say the same about No Way Home if you ignore the lockdown. 2 studios are working behind this movie.
