Release of Disney's 'Black Widow' Delayed Again

VOA News

   Fans disappointed once by the delayed release of superhero movie Black
   Widow are now disappointed twice after The Walt Disney Co. again pushed
   back the opening on Wednesday.

   Starring Scarlett Johansson, the spy thriller was scheduled to debut on
   November 6 and was among the last movies expected to open in 2020. But
   as movie theaters remain closed in many areas because of the pandemic,
   fans will now have to wait until May 7, 2021, according to Disney.

   Fans who were anticipating the latest annual Marvel Cinematic Universe
   blockbuster had mixed reactions to the Black Widow delay.

   'Money hungry'

   Some, like Twitter user @KpHeaney, applauded the move, tweeting that
   "this is the right decision" because "there are certain films which cry
   to out to be seen on big screen. This is one of them."

   Others saw Disney making a money play. "You would think with all what's
   happening they'd help the people out [and] let us stream the movies but
   they're money hungry, they keep on delaying movies," tweeted
   @RyanH1904.

   A number of highly anticipated movies have been delayed in part,
   according to [1]Variety, an entertainment industry news outlet, because
   "there's no sense of when New York and Los Angeles, the two biggest
   moviegoing markets in the U.S., will be able to open theaters."
