Disney reportedly isn't interested in skipping theaters and taking 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Widow straight to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus streaming service.

Of course, this wouldn't be a story any other year, but in the face of reemerging lockdowns and a second wave of coronavirus cases, lots of studios are releasing movies on streaming services instead of in theaters. In an unprecedented move by WarnerMedia, Wonder Woman 1984 will release on HBO M💖ax on the same day as its theat🍰rical premiere.

, Black Widow currently "is not being contemplated for a streaming bow." This is despite the fact that Disney is reportedly considering moving tentpole releases including Cruella, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan and Wendy from their theatrical premieres over to Disney Plus. The company made a similar decision with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mulan, whꦅicᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh premiered on Disney Plus instead of theaters as originally planned. Disney was reportedly pleased wi🃏th Mulan's success on the streaming platform, which🧔 doesn't help the case for movie theater-exclusive premieres.

Black Widow is the long-awaited standalone film centered around former spy and Avengers alum Natasha Romanoff. Our pals at Total Film caught up with Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova, and she didn't mince words when discussing some of the heavy themes the Black Widow movie deals in. "This film is about the abuse of women. It's about how they get involuntary hysterectomies by the age of eight. ꦚIt's about girls who are stolen from around the world. It's so painful, and it's so important," sa♏id Pugh, before noting that this is still a superhero movie that sees its heroes rise up.

"The best thing about that is, it's not layered with this colour of grey. You'll see these women strive and be strong, and they're assassins – and yet they still need to d🐠iscuss how they were abused. It'༺s an incredibly powerful piece."

Black Widow is set to release on May 7, 2021.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on asဣ GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
