The Black Widow, Eternals, and Shang-Chi release dates have been pushed back due to fears surrounding the coronavirus that have shut down movie theaters.
The release date changes follow WB pushing back Wonder Woman 1984 to December and while 70% of theaters are back open, the capacity is less than 100% with the social distancing rules.
Black Widow moves from Nov. 6 to May 7, 2021. In Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.
Shang-Chi moves from May 7, 2021 to July 9, 2021. Simu Liu stars in the titular role as Shang-Chi, alongside Awkwafina and Tony Leung in a film directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
Eternals moves from Feb. 12, 2021 to Nov. 5, 2021. Eternals features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the Eternals are ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. Following the events of Marvel Studiosâ Avengers: Endgame, an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankindâs most ancient enemy, The Deviants.
