Disney has postponed almost all of its films scheduled for release in 2020 due to the coronavirus crisis.
The changes affect the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s Phase Four slate of movies, with its first title Black Widow having been pushed back from this November until next May. It was initially due to hit cinemas in May 2020.
Eternals, meanwhile, has had its release date moved from February 2021 to the following November. As Fandango‘s Managing Editor Erik Davis notes, this will be the first year that’s seen no Marvel Studios movies since 2009.
