The release date of Black Widow could be delayed again. The movie is the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it is originally scheduled to premiere in May. But later, due to the ongoing pandemic situation of coronavirus, Disney has postponed the release date to November 2020. The team thought that would be enough time to come out from the health crisis and improve audiences’ safety measures, eventually encouraging people to come to the theatres. Unfortunately, after a few months, the condition has not yet improved, especially in the United States, where there are ten thousand new cases daily.
Black Widow is the upcoming American superhero movie based on the Marvel Comics of the same name. The film is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and produced by Marvel Studios. It stars Scarlett Johansson, who’s playing the title role of Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow, along with Florence Pugh, David Harbour, William Hurt, and Rachel Weisz. The development of the Black Widow started in April 2004, but the project underwent development hell. Johansson was cast for several Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, including Iron Man 2 in 2010. Scarlett expressed her interest in being in a solo film, and in 2018 she is hired for Black Widow.
The movie’s shooting took place in Norway, Morocco, Budapest, Pinewood Studio in the United Kingdom, and Atlanta. The shooting started on 28 May 2019, and the film is officially announced in July 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con. And the teaser was released on 3 December 2019. The project is long-awaited and highly anticipated by fans, and highlighted the spy theme of the movie. Richard Newby from The Hollywood Reporter found a difference between the shot composition and cinematography.
Initially, the team scheduled the movie to be released in the United States in May 2020; it is also the first project of the MCU’s fourth phase. Although due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date was postponed to 6 November 2020, and now the speculations are that the date might again change.
Despite the spread of the virus, movie theatres have reopened to boost their business, but audiences are afraid to come out of their homes. The most awaited and big-budget Nolan’s project, Tenet’s underwhelming performance, was forced to reconsider its release date. Therefore the distribution team of Black Widow has pushed the date to Christmas. However, there is no official confirmation of the rescheduling. Recently, according to the reports of Variety, they said it is “likely” that Balck Widow is delayed further from the November release date. It is still unknown where the date would be moved to.
If the delaying news of Black Widow is true (which it seems to be very likely), it will be a significant loss for the movie theatres, as they have very few or no movies to release this year. And most of the producers are opting to release on video on demand platforms like Disney+, Netflix, and others to release their content rather than theatres. The delay of the Black Widow will affect the release of further projects of MCU. The article was all about the latest updates regarding the awaited upcoming film Black Widow.
