Scarlett Johansson's starrer Black Widow was all set to release on April 30, 2020, in India and on May 1, 2020, in the US. However, Disney has decided to postpone the release of the superhero film indefinitely amidst coronavirus outbreak. The Hollywood Reporter stated that the new release date is undecided and fans have to wait for a few more weeks to see Natasha Romanoff's first standalone superhero movie. Before Black Widow, several Hollywood films got postponed due to coronavirus pandemic.

The Universal studio has also moved the ninth Fast & Furious film from May this year to April 2021, while Paramount studio pushed ahead of the release of A Quiet Place Part II just eight days before its scheduled release.

Johansson has played Black Widow, a major role in seven Marvel movies, tracking her evolution from morally dubious Russian assassin to a world-saving Avenger. The upcoming film depicts the life events of Natasha Romanoff during the time between the film narratives of Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Avengers: Endgame (2018).

Earlier during an interaction with Entertainment Weekly, when Scarlett was asked why it took 10 years to get a solo Black Widow film, the actor stated, "For anyone who said to me, ‘Oh, this should’ve happened five or 10 years ago,’ I’m like, it would not have been as substantial. We just would not have been able to do it. This film is happening now as a result of what’s going on in the zeitgeist, and I think it’s pretty cool."

Black Widow is directed by Cate Shortland and also stars Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, William Hurt, Ray Winstone, and Rachel Weisz in pivotal roles.
