Black Widow will now arrive in theaters on May 7, 2021, an entire year after it was originally supposed to arrive on the big screen. We have the COVID-19 pandemic to thank for that, of course, and any hopes of the Marvel Studios movie debuting on PVOD or Disney+ have gone out of the window.

Someone who previously supported that idea is Red Guardian actor David Harbour. Now, though, he's commented on the delay, and hopes fans can be patient when it comes to Black Widow's release.

"Sorry," he says. "You’re gonna have to wait [until] May 2021 before you can pop a straw [through] my helmeted head and sip your Diet Coke, and marvel (get it, get it) at how the RG packs his whole overly fleshy self into that super suit."

Theres a lot of speculation online that Mulan may not have performed as well as expected on Disney+'s "Premier Access" service, which would explain why Black Widow won't be following suit.

Man, by the time theaters open up, there will probably be a full years worth of movies in need of release, unless they put most of them on demand

@dracula - Ben Affleck might’ve had a point about how the only movies that get theatrical releases will be big blockbusters because they need to make as much money back as they can, while the smaller movies will go to streaming or on demand because they don’t need to make as much money back.

@MUTO123 - I agree. The smaller cost movies can make a profit on streaming where the the high cost one will be lucky to break even.

My guess however is that they go ahead and release a few (not all) of those blockbusters in the near future IF they are the kind of movie with long legs. Another few (not all) however are going to get streamed. Probably those which normally would do well but in cut-throat 2021 competition would do badly. As always YMMV.

not sure about those constant delays ... i know that this and WW are big blockbusters, but wouldn't it be better if (Marvel/Disney and WB) they release those movies now ? In theaters and on demand at the same time. In my country (Poland) you could see Mulan in theater or just stream it. Not sure how it went with USA, with Corona virus and all. But oversea theaters are open. At least in my country.

@jerryblake - Something like 70% of US theaters are open, running at 25-30% of normal capacity. Since the profit percentage in the US is much larger than elsewhere they won't waste a good movie by opening it now. Especially after Tenet did well overseas and bombed badly here.
