Headed to only a theaters near you?

Scarlett Johansson will make her first solo movie as the iconic character ‘Black Widow’ aka Natasha Romanoff, as well as set out to be the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow” has already been delayed, originally set for release in May 2020 and pushed again to December, a year later is now slated for the new release date of May 7, 2021.  With the pattern of postponements to the film, another delay would not be much of a surprise.

There has also been been rumors that Disney will not even release the film on Disney+ and rather only roll out on theaters.  If there will be a streaming option, based on speculative reports, it would only be via Premiere Access and cost an additional fee from monthly subscription. There has yet to be any comment from Disney regarding the rollout, we anticipate updates and confirmations closer to spring.

Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. The film is directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige.

The runtime for “Black Widow” has been announced by Disney, and it is pretty big, or rather long, it will be the longest Marvel movie (aside from Avengers) in over 3 years.  The total movie time is set for 2 hours and 133 minutes. 

From Marvel Studios:

The action-packed spy thriller Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.

The Dark Phoenix Rises (one last time?)

A lot has been made of the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (brought to us by Disney), but, really, the X-Men movies jump-started the Marvel movies. Although these X-Men movies exist outside of the MCU due to 20th Century Fox producing them (Disney recently acquired Fox), the ambitious X-Men movies truly set the stage for the Marvel movie craze to flourish.

It’s rumored that this X-Men movie could be the last Mutant installment (while The New Mutants seem to constantly be postponed, and the Gambit film shelved). So, this could be our last look at a series that has spanned nearly 20 years.

“…the perfect send-off for our X-Men team”

Trans-Morphogenetic Resurgence

The X-Men franchise was reinvigorated when “X-Men: First Class” premiered in 2011. It took the key characters in the Mutant canon and relaunched them with an origin story. Older characters Professor Xavier and Magneto that were once played by Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Ian McKellen (Magneto) in X-Men (2000) were then reintroduced, as their youthful selves, by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender.

The wildly successful reboot gave a kick in the pants to Marvel’s Mutant storyline, and it also introduced the world to Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique). Lawrence has remained loyal to the franchise, consistently reprising her star-making role.

Famke Janssen originally brought the Jean Grey character to life, but this latest and revamped Dark Phoenix story line allows Sophie Turner (of Game Of Thrones) to take the Jean Grey character to the next level.

All the pieces came together when cast members and characters from the first X-men film and the relaunch film fused story lines, and essentially un-did the events of “X-Men: The Last Stand” (a film also centered on the Phoenix storyline).

Dark Phoenix stars Sophie Turner (Jean Grey/Phoenix), James McAvoy (Professor Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), and Jessica Chastain making her first appearance in the X-Men/Mutant universe.

Dark Phoenix is directed by Simon Kinberg, and rises into theaters June 7th, 2019
