- A leaker claiming knowledge of Marvel’s MCU Phase 4 plans says Black Widow will soon be heading to Disney+ streaming, even though the official plan is for the film to launch in theaters on May 7th, 2021.
- Black Widow was delayed twice during the coronavirus pandemic, fueling speculation that Disney and Marvel might make it available on Disney+ if a theatrical launch isn’t possible.
- The leaker also offered some supposed details surrounding Black Widow's plot and credits scenes, echoing some of last year’s leaks.
Black Widow was supposed to launch in early May last year, but then the novel coronavirus pandemic upended everyday life. Going to the theater was no longer possible. Disney and Marvel pushed the premiere back to November, delaying all the other MCU Phase 4 release dates in the process. The pandemic didn’t just close theaters, it also halted the production of movies and TV shows, impacting future releases.
As November approached, it was clear that Black Widow would not get a proper release in cinemas. Coronavirus cases continued to soar, prompting speculation that Disney might want to launch the film on Disney+. But then Black Widow was officially delayed to May 2021, and we would soon learn that Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) would not open Phase 4. That honor will go to WandaVision, the first Marvel show to premiere on Disney+ — the series will be released on January 15th.
The COVID-19 surge is worse than ever in the US and Europe, and there’s no clear end in sight. Vaccines have started rolling out, but there’s no telling when theaters will actually open. With that in mind, a leaker is now claiming that Black Widow will head straight to streaming rather than getting a regular theatrical debut.
