Thanos couldn’t defeat the Avengers, but it looks like the Coronavirus is taking down Marvel’s Black Widow, at least for now. Marvel decided to delay the May 1 release date for Black Widow for the foreseeable future. The studio did not announce a new release date. Like the three other Disney films being delayed, Marvel will wait to see how COVID-19 (Coronavirus) impacts the United States and international markets.
Disney already pulled Mulan (March 27), New Mutants (April 3), and Antlers (April 17) from their schedule release dates. The Disney-owned flicks join a growing number of films delayed until the COVID-19 pandemic gets under control, which sadly could be a while.
Health experts are now saying it might not be until 2021 that the COVID-19 pandemic is under control. Oof. 2020 is shaping up to be a real sh*tshow.
In addition to Marvel’s Black Widow and the other Disney films, here’s the list of all the other films delayed so far due to the Coronavirus pandemic:
- A Quiet Place Part II (March 20)
- Blue Story (March 20)
- F9 (May 22)
- The Lovebirds (April 2)
- Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (April 2)
- No Time to Die (April 10)
How long the studios can continue to push out release dates remains to be seen. 2020 might go down as the “straight-to-video” year.
