It’s been interesting to watch things move quickly in the theatrical market as Regal theaters and associated chains under Cinemark began to come to life now that they see both firm dates for being able to open in a lot of states as well as the vaccination push. The debut of Black Widow, which has been delayed from its February 2020 release date due to the pandemic, is getting closer as it’s set for a July 9th, 2021 debut (both in theaters and as a Disney + Premiere Access title) and it signifies a really big step forward because it’s essentially the launching point of four Marvel films this year with Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home included.
Movie studios and the movie theaters are really hoping to see things come to life with this film when it arrives and one of the earliest signs to see if it will in this pandemic-filled world is advance ticket sales. They’re now on sale for the film and Marvel is drawing attention to that with a new 90-second action clip from the project that you can see below.
The film is set to star Scarlet Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, Ray Winstone, and Rachel Weisz.
We learned previously that Cate Shortland has signed on for the project after working on the Nazi drama film Lore previously. The Australian director doesn’t have a huge slate of films in her list but it factors into how Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige have worked previously when exploring projects like this, often to great success.
Plot Concept: Following the events of Captain America: Civil War (2016), Natasha Romanoff is on the run from the government following her disobedience to the Sokovia Accords and for aiding Steve Rogers finds herself on her own and is forced to deal with “some of the red in her ledger”.
