Disney officially announced Black Widow's release date delay today. While the postponement of the highly-anticipated Marvel movie was to be expected after the coronavirus cancellation of Disney movies like Mulan, fans don't seem to be too happy by the news.
Disappointed that Black Widow's May release has been delayed to an undisclosed date, Marvel fans have begun campaigning for Marvel to release the movie on Disney+ instead. Though that seems unlikely seeing how it wouldn't provide that much profit as a theatrical release would, fans want to see Black Widow on Disney+ so that they can enjoy the movie despite the spread of COVID-19.

The novel coronavirus outbreak has certainly affected the media industry. Not only has the disease forced the cancellation of major events like Emerald City Comic Con and SXSW, but it's also closed the production of a number of films, including the upcoming Avatar sequels and the newest Fast and Furious installment.
This week, COVID-19 has forced the delay of films like Mulan and Black Widow – a major disappointment to Disney and Marvel fans. Hopefully, Disney considers releasing Black Widow on Vudu and Amazon once it finally gets its theatrical release.
While we can't be entirely sure when the COVID-19 pandemic might end, we're certainly hoping that the scientists can find a cure to the coronavirus soon. The disease has affected so many industries. It shouldn't stay too long like this.
Black Widow has been delayed to an undisclosed date.
