But his boarding of what would be a fourth installment of the Marvel franchise comes at a cost: Warner Bros.’ long-gestating adaptation of Japanese manga Akira. That project, which was penciled for a May 21, 2021, release and had Waititi testing actors in a worldwide search for talent, is being put on pause indefinitely as the two projects’ production dates began to bump up against one another. Script development concerns caused Akira to push back its shooting start, and while some of those have been addressed, say sources, the dates were now too close for comfort.
