'Free Guy' starring Ryan Reynolds and 'Death on the Nile' gets new 2021 premiere dates

Disney’s 2020 Investor Day caught much attention with dozens of new projects in making, popularly under Marvel Studios and Star Wars. The company also gave updates on Free Guy release date and Death on the Nile release date. After being delayed indefinitely, both the 20th Century Studios’ movies have now been pushed to 2021.

Free Guy was originally set to drop in cinemas on July 3, 2020, but was postponed due to coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak. It was then scheduled to premiere on December 11, 2020, and the makers shared a brand-new trailer. However, it was then removed from the company’s slate. Now, Free Guy release date is rescheduled to May 21, 2021.

Death on the Nile has faced multiple ups and downs in its release date. It was initially set for December 20, 2019, but was moved to October 9, 2020. The movie was then pushed back by two weeks to October 23, and again to December 18, following the underperformance of Tenet at the domestic box office due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney wiped it from its schedule until further notice. Now, the new Death on the Nile release date will mark its arrival on September 17, 2021.

The science-fiction film and the mystery thriller movie will open in theatres despite all the issues. The company is currently not handing their projects straight to streaming on Disney Plus. All the tent poles are announced to have a cinemas release before going to streaming service.
