Black Widow had been originally slated to release in movies theaters May 1, but was delayed repeatedly due to the closure of many movie theaters nationwide amid the coronavirus pandemic. The MCU prequel is currently scheduled to release in theaters Nov. 6, while Soul is set for Nov. 20.
Black Widow is a prequel for Scarlett Johansson’s Marvel Cinematic Universe character, Natasha Romanoff. The film will see Johansson return alongside new stars Florence Pugh and David Harbour.
