At this point, no release date for "The Champions" has yet been announced. Most likely it will depend on the availability of the two stars — more on them below — both of whom are very busy with upcoming projects.
As reported by Deadline, Ben Stiller is currently in post-production on an Apple+ workplace thriller series called "Severance." Next, he's committed to directing and producing "Bag Man," a Focus Features film based on Rachel Maddow's podcast. After that, he'll be directing and producing a feature called "London" that will star Oscar Isaac. Finally, he'll be executive producing an Apple+ series titled "High Desert." Cate Blanchett, meanwhile, is in the middle of filming a feature called "Tar" that's directed by Todd Field.
Since Stiller is already committed to directing two feature films, he most likely wouldn't be available to direct "The Champions" at least until those are both in post-production. That means the earliest he could realistically start directing "The Champions" would be by the end of 2022. Since movies usually take between 10 and 14 months to make, don't expect "The Champions" before 2023 (via The Cinemaholic).
