Of the course the world as we know it has changed. Thanos’ snapped first got rid of then brought back half the uni…..oh that’s not what we’re talking about. Oh yeah due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 aka THE RONA. The movie release slate for 2020 has been drastically changed.

Many hoped at one point that Marvel Studios’ BLACK WIDOW would still be able to keep its original theatrical release date of May 1, 2020 even if that meant a straight to Disney Plus release. Well not only did the date get pushed back but there also will be no straight to Disney Plus release.

Well today Disney revealed an updated release schedule for the Scarlett Johannson led movie. It also shifts the rest of the upcoming MCU theatrical release slate.

BLACK WIDOW now will take THE ETERNALS release date of November 6, 2020 and THE ETERNALS now shifts to February 12, 2021. This also moves around SHANG-CHI and THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS to May 7, 2021 as well as DOCTOR STRANGE INTO THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS on November 5, 2021.

This update slate also seemingly locks in 2022 as well for Marvel Studios, THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER goes to February 18, 2022, BLACK PANTHER 2, May 8, 2022 and CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 which originally did not have a release date is now set for a July 8, 2022 release.

Of course with the changes in these films theatrically you can bet your bottom dollar that the slate for the MCU Disney Plus series will also be altered given that they all now directly connecting to the films in a chronological order.

The idea of a Black Widow solo film has argued on both sides of the coin whether it could or should be done. Many have  wondered can the Avenger deliver without any assistance while others have said firmly “ABSOLUTELY”. Well now it looks as if Scar Jo may be getting the chance to show the former spy in action on her own.

Word around the campfire is that Marvel has tapped Jac Schaeffer to pen the screenplay. The Black List alum is the writer behind Nasty Women, as well as the upcoming Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake starring Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway. So this script is in good hands.

Should the former KGB spy actually get her own film, this becomes the second female led Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel set to hit theaters March 8,2019

Scarlett Johansson debuted as Natasha Romanoff,  Russian spy-turned-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent a.k.a. Black Widow, in 2010’s Iron Man 2. Ever since, she has become one of the MCU’s most important assets, with Johansson starring in six films, including the highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War, which opens May 4.
