Studios schedule out pretty far in advance and every date affects everything else (they don’t want their own movies competing with one another). And shooting schedules are affected by those schedules, which means your actors might not be available if you change something. MCU stuff is further complicated by the fact that there’s links between the movies.
There’s definitely movies that are made on a less strict time frame but you often don’t see those put on the schedule until they’re complete. So you’ll see a long gap between when they’re finished and when they’re in theaters.

Oppenheimer wasn’t a generic ass superhero of the week™ either.
