Marvel’s Black Widow might get delayed again

Black Widow is Hollywood actor Scarlett Johansson’s first-ever Marvel Cinematic Universe outing in which she is solely pulling off the lead character. The movie was initially slated to release in May 2020 but had to be postponed because of the global pandemic. Even though Marvel had intended to kick start its phase 4 with Black Widow in 2020, that position ended up going to WandaVision that released on Disney+ Hotstar in early January 2021.

Black Widow is one of the many movies that had to get postponed in 2020 and were expected to release in 2021. Until last week, there was news about Black Widow releasing in the theatres in May 2021. But, according to reports from Variety, there is news that Marvel’s Black Widow might get delayed again. 

According to reports from Variety, the makers of Black Widow have been working on the studio’s strategy for the movie’s release. The film's premiere will only depend on if people will be open to visiting theatres again. The movie is said to be pushed forward if the situation with the theatres doesn’t improve. Despite the fact that Marvel movies have always made record-breaking sales at the box-office, it looks like Black Widow’s last resort would be to release on a digital platform.

Currently, the situation in the United States of America remains the same about most cinemas being closed as COVID-19 cases are still on the surge.  If not the theatres, the movie could be releasing on the OTT platform, Disney+ Hotstar. However, no official confirmation is made yet.
