Black Widow will be a prequel, set after the events of Captain America: Civil War but before Thanos fights the Avengers in Avengers: Infinity War. Scarlett Johansson has appeared in six Marvel movies, beginning with Iron Man 2 in 2010, but she has never played the lead. The film, which was originally scheduled for a May 1 release, has been delayed a whole year due to the coronavirus outbreak. This means we might see X-Men fighting the Avengers or Fantastic Four villains invading upcoming Marvel movies.īlack Widow is finally getting a long-overdue solo movie, though fans will have to wait a little longer than expected to see it. Feige confirmed at Comic-Con that new Fantastic Four and X-Men movies are in the works. The franchise will likely be totally rebooted with new actors under the Disney umbrella. In 2019, Disney acquired Fox, effectively merging the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the X-Men Cinematic Universe. They have now struck up an agreement to continue making movies about Peter Parker together, even as Sony produces other movies in the Spider-verse alone, starring characters like Venom and Miles Morales. In 2017, Sony and Disney teamed up to make Spider-Man : Homecoming. Over 10 years, Disney built the most bankable film franchise in the world by building an interlocking universe of characters, teasing future movies with post-credit scenes and experimenting with different genres to shake up the superhero formula.ĭisney was so successful, that they are now able to buy back those fan favorite Marvel characters owned by other studios. Iron Man, Thor and Captain America became their moneymaking heroes. After Marvel Studios produced the surprise hit Iron Man, Disney swooped in to build an entire franchise out of characters long outshone by the X-Men and Spidey. Before Disney came along, Marvel Studios was struggling and had already sold off the rights to its most popular characters: They dealt Spider-Man to Sony and the X-Men and Fantastic Four to Fox. A little over a decade ago, Disney bought Marvel Studios.
Those delays only add more uncertainty to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has grown in recent months because of studio mergers. Production was also halted on several of the projects that were filming when the pandemic began, including the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and the Disney+ shows Loki, WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, though WandaVision is now set to debut before end of 2020.
Disney announced that it would delay Black Widow, originally set to premiere on May 1, until May 7, 2021. However, the release dates for many of these movies and shows will likely be delayed as movie theaters across the world close in response to the continuing global spread of COVID-19.
