Black Widow delayed to Summer 2021 - What does this mean for the future of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Black Widow delayed to Summer 2021 - What does this mean for the future of The Marvel Cinematic Universe


So news that shouldn't be a complete shock came out this morning that Black Widow has moved from its late October to release to Summer next year. After the poor Box Office Performance by Tenet I think this news makes sense but it also throws up some big questions for the future of The MCU. 

Hopefully sees the film perform well financially

People have wanted a Black Widow film for years, she has always been seen as a supporting player but now she is in the spotlight. So after all these years not only do I want it to be a good film, but I want it to do well financially, as this might make Marvel consider giving some supporting characters there own projects, especially female characters. 

2020 will be the first year since 2009 where there will be no MCU Film

It feels strange that due to this news this will be the first time in 11 years that Marvel Studios will not release a movie. Maybe after Avengers: Endgame this isn't such a bad thing, people have said they have superhero fatigue so this year off from most comic book films can refresh them and get them excited for the future. 

WandaVision is Marvel Studios only hope for 2020

So with this news it confirms that Wandavision will be Marvel Studios only thing to hit for the rest of 2020 so the pressure just got ramped up for it. The trailer was great and the show looks promising so hopefully it can truly deliver. 

4 MCU Films are set for 2021

So this is bad news, but along with this news it has been confirmed at the moment that four MCU films set to come out next year. Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Eternals & Spider-Man 3. If these films all deliver, people will forget about the lack of MCU this year and we will be ready for a good future.
