November sixth, to be precise, the place on the schedule that was initially crammed by The Eternals, which has as an alternative been moved into 2021.
In response to the present plan, although, UK followers will get to see the film one week earlier than the US, as Disney has confirmed to Digital Spy that their intention is for Black Widow to drop in cinemas on October 28th abroad. It is a quite common process for Marvel, who solely forewent giving the UK a complicated launch on Avengers: Infinity Struggle and Endgame, which had been each pulled ahead per week worldwide as an alternative.

The UK has simply introduced a brand new scheme to minimize the lockdown, however theaters will stay shut till July 4th on the earliest, and that’s all depending on whether or not a second wave hits or not. It’s very possible that they’ll keep closed for longer and even when they do open, there’s the massive query of whether or not of us might be prepared to return to cinemas as quickly as just some months after that.
