NEW YORK โ The Walt Disney Co. has further postponed its next mega-movies from Marvel, including โBlack Widow,โ while also postponing Steven Spielberg's โWest Side Storyโ a full year in the company's latest recalibration due to the pandemic.
The Scarlett Johansson Marvel movie โBlack Widow,โ last set for Nov. 6, heads to May 7 of next year.
That was the date set for โWest Side Story,โ but Spielberg's musical will instead debut in December 2021.
Given the interconnected nature of Marvel releases, the latest delay of โBlack Widowโ had a domino effect on other films.
Since the pandemic began, the company's โMulan,โ โHamiltonโ and โArtemis Fowlโ have gone direct to streaming, with โMulanโ made available for a $30 premium purchase by subscribers.
