The Walt Disney Co. on Friday overhauled its release schedule by moving the dates of half a dozen Marvel movies, announcing a new one for the live-action adaption of “Mulan” and pushing one movie, “Artemis Fowl,” to Disney Plus, in response to the coronavirus pandemic. “Black Widow,” the Marvel entry starring Scarlett Johansson, had been set to kick off the summer movie season.
Instead, Disney said it will now open Nov. 6. Such delays have unique ramifications for Marvel movies because of their interconnection.
With “Black Widow” on the move, that meant a domino effect, pushing most all upcoming Marvel releases back at least three months.
