Black Widow will be released in US Theaters and Disney + Premier Access on July 9.

Black Widow delayed yet again to July, and will premiere in theaters along with a Disney + Premier Access release

 

Those who were waiting on news on whether or not Disney and Marvel would release Black Widow this May in US theaters finally have their answer, as the Marvel Studios film and the first movie for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been delayed again to a new release date of July 9 for cinemas. However this time the film is also getting a Disney + release on the same day - as part of Disney + Premier Access and will be available for a premium price to watch via streaming.

The delay of Black Widow comes as no surprise, as only some theaters are only starting to open slowly and safely in some territories in the US and worldwide while others are still closed down. The delay may be to give time for others to recover, but as Phase 4 has already started with Disney + TV shows in WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Marvel Studios needs to play catch up in releasing their films soon and not see another delay for this film - which was originally scheduled for release last year but was delayed due to the pandemic.

Black Widow: New promotional art appears online for the upcoming MCU film

It’s been topsy turvy for the movie industry as far as release dates go for upcoming movies, and that includes tentpoles and blockbusters like the “Black Widow” solo film that finally gives actress Scarlett Johansson her own MCU solo outing as Natasha Romanoff set after the events of “Captain America: Civil War”. Marvel Studios’ first movie of “Phase 4” has been delayed however due to the ongoing pandemic happening worldwide, and its fall release window is still not a guarantee to happen. However, that doesn’t mean that the promotional stuff has taken time off, and some new promo artwork has been spotted online via Twitter as reported by Comic Book.com.

Black Widow is still scheduled for a November 2020 release.

"Black Widow" delayed until further notice due to Corona Virus

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Natasha Romanoff who were looking forward to the long awaited "Black Widow" solo film will have to be even more patient and understanding given the trying times in the world now, as Marvel Studios made the hard yet understandable decision to delay the film's release and pull it's late April/ Early May release date from theaters. This is due to the global pandemic that is the "Corona Virus" that is forcing countries into lockdown, community quarantines, and closing businesses and productions until further notice to try and stem more people from being infected by the virus.

Other Marvel projects like the upcoming TV Shows for Disney Plus in "Falcon and the Winter Soldier", "WandaVision", and "Loki" have suspended production as well, leading to an uncertain time when these programs will resume work and get a release window.

Scarlett Johansson explodes with power and skill in the first trailer for "Lucy"

What would you get if you had a movie from the guy who directed Nikita, The Professional, and The Fifth Element and wrote/ produced the Transporter and Taken films, and put Scarlett Johansson in the lead and Morgan Freeman thrown in for good measure as well?

Simple... You get LUCY.

Directed by Luc Besson, "Lucy" is a sci-fi action film that sees a girl get abducted and turned to a drug mule... And suddenly gains powers and skills beyond our comprehension after the cargo is accidentally ingested into her system. You can think it's like "The Matrix" meets "Wanted" and "Taken", but with the beautiful actress who plays Natascha Romanoff/ Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe... And Lucius Fox/ God added in the form of Morgan Freeman.

Watch the trailer via MovieClips Trailers and GeekTyrant... And simply be AMAZED.
