20th Century Fox has set new release dates for many of its upcoming movies, including two unnamed Marvel character movies, The Predator, and more.

The first untitled Marvel film will be released on October 6, 2017, and the second on January 12, 2018.

Deadpool 2 is a likely guess for one of these two slots, though we'll have to wait for an official confirmation.

Additionally, Fox has moved Gambit off its schedule for the time being, something many foresaw when the film's production got delayed and directing duties changed, with Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow) stepping in for Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes). That being the case, one of those new Marvel-movie dates could be used for Gambit - most likely the one in October 2017, given Gambit was going to open this October originally.

The Predator, directed by Shane Black, is expected to open March 2, 2018, while Alien: Covenant -- Ridley Scott's follow-up to Prometheus -- has been moved to August 4, 2017, opening earlier than it was originally planned for.

Alien: Covenant is said to take place 10 years after Prometheus. Billy Crudup (Watchmen, Spotlight) is reportedly in talks for a "key" role in the film.

According to the Box Office Twitter account, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton, has been moved from Christmas Day to September 30, 2016.

Fox's comedy Why Him? (starring Bryan Cranston and James Franco) will now debut December 25, 2016. Animated tale Ferdinand is set for July 21, 2017, while The Mountain Between Us has been removed from Fox's schedule.
