Quantum Space is acquiring propulsion assets from Phase Four to enhance its Ranger spacecraft, aiming to support national security and commercial missions with advanced multi-mode thruster technology, including facilities for rapid development. The deal signifies a strategic move to improve space mobility capabilities, especially for defense applications, amid Phase Four's recent operational uncertainties.
The release of Shang-Chi 2, the sequel to the hit Marvel film, has been delayed due to the ongoing delays of the Avengers movie it was meant to follow. This highlights the shaky state of Marvel's Phase Four plans, with several films facing delays and uncertainties. The COVID-19 pandemic and other real-world circumstances have contributed to the messy handling of events, and the studio is also dealing with VFX crunch, abuse allegations, and the ongoing WGA Strike. While Marvel and Disney will likely recover, these setbacks demonstrate the need for a more cautious approach to future releases.
