Disney has announced some major changes to their film schedule once again including Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi and more.
“Today’s announcement reflects our focus on providing consumer choice and serving the evolving preferences of audiences. By leveraging a flexible distribution strategy in a dynamic marketplace that is beginning to recover from the global pandemic, we will continue to employ the best options to deliver The Walt Disney Company’s unparalleled storytelling to fans and families around the world,” said Kareem Daniel, Chairman, Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution.
Marvel’s Black Widow was most recently set to release on May 7th, 2021 but has now been pushed to July 9th, 2021 (the previous date for Shang-Chi).
However, Black Widow will be hitting theatres and Disney+ Premier Access on that date for $34.99 CAD ($29.99 USD).
The live-action prequel film, Cruella will also be coming to Disney+ Premier Access and theatres on May 28th.
