A lot of people, myself included, thought that Disney putting Mulan on Disney+ and the pre-requisite of the movie doing well – which it did – would encourage Disney to maybe roll out some of their Marvel movies on Disney+ rather than continue to push back release dates for an in-theater experience.

Well, it looks like those thoughts were misplaced because Disney is pushing the release dates back again.

In the wake of COVID-19’s continued grip on the box office, Disney made another round of release-date changes Wednesday, the good news for exhibition being: Nothing is headed to Disney+. That includes Pixar’s Soul, which is currently sticking to its November 20 release against MGM’s James Bond movie No Time to Die. 

While we already knew Marvel’s Black Widow was set to move, it’s by far the biggest shift on Disney’s theatrical calendar, going from November 6 to May, 7 2021. That’s a complete annual delay of Black Widow from its original pre-pandemic release date of May 1 this year. Black Widow‘s shift kicks Marvel’s Eternals from February 12, 2021 to November 5, 2021, and moves Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings from May 7, 2021 to July 9, 2021 (a post-Independence Day release date that Disney had already reserved for an untitled feature). Trickling up into Eternals’ February spot is 20th Century Studios’ The King’s Man, which jumps ahead from its February 26, 2021 release date.
