Disney delays release of 'Black Widow' and other movies in schedule reshuffle
Sorry, Marvel fans, because it looks like we have to wait a little longer for Black Widow as Disney announces its new schedule of films that are bound to be released next year.
Black Widow, which stars Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, is being pushed back to May 7, 2021 -- a few days from its original release of May 1, 2021.
That said, the viewing of the other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Eternals and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings are also pushed back.
Eternals is set to run on November 5, 2021, while Shang Chi will be released on July 9, 2021.
With the reshuffle of the said Marvel films are other Disney movies such as Steven Spielberg's new take on the West Side Story which will now come on December 10 of next year.
For this year, moviegoers can still expect Death on the Nile, a follow-up to the box-office hit Murder on the Orient Express, to be released on December 18, 2020. The movie is a murder mystery based on Agatha Cristie's novel featuring Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh).
