The third film in the Cloverfield trilogy has been pushed back to April 2018. The film, which follows Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane, previously titled God Particle, was originally set to debut in cinemas on February but according to a report over at SlashFilm, has now been pushed back to the spring. More on the Cloverfield 3 delay below.
Cloverfield 3 delay – Will now reportedly release in April 2018
‘Cloverfield 3’, or whatever they eventually decide to call the movie, will star Daniel Bruhl, Aksel Hennie, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Chris O’Dowd, John Ortiz, David Oyelowo and Zhang Ziyi. Plot details are sketchy at the moment, of course, and we haven’t seen any promotional material at the moment or a trailer, but we really do expect to start seeing at something very soon, even with the two month delay. The new Stateside release is April 20th, 2018.

SlashFilm also picked up on the following tweet from Erik Davis over at Fandango which seemingly says that the film may undergo a name change too.
In case you were wondering (because I was), that UNTITLED CLOVERFIELD MOVIE is still opening on February 2. This info is as of 12/19, but it’s still not officially being called GOD PARTICLE, so… new title? pic.twitter.com/FMjQ1E0BBL

What we do know is that the new film was written before 10 Cloverfield Lane, which was released back in 2016, something that Oren Uziel, the film’s screenwriter, confirmed to Collider recently.
“It was written before 10 Cloverfield Lane and the expanded Cloverfield universe even existed as a thing. It was a spec that I wrote probably a year or so after Shimmer Lake, so it definitely existed as its own science-fiction. And then after years of, you know how scripts kind of hang around—people like them but for whatever reason they decided to make it and then suddenly everything fell into place with J.J. [Abrams], Bad Robot, and Paramount. I don’t know exactly when it became a Cloverfield movie, but I suspect in this current market where it’s just harder and harder to market an original movie of any kind, a science-fiction movie in particular, but I think everyone just knew if it fits—and it does—into that Cloverfield world, it should, and it can only help.”
