The 24th Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie launched now 13 years ago by Disney should have been released in theaters in the second quarter of 2020, but the global pandemic and widespread theatrical closures around the world have forced the studio to postpone
the release of Black Widow
several times
.
But good news: the feature film, featuring the character of Natasha Romanoff played by Scarlett Johansson, now has
a French release date that can be considered realistic: Wednesday, July 7, 2021
.
The announcement made by Disney France is very clear: it is in the cinema, and nowhere else, that it will be possible to follow the adventures of the dynamic fighter of the Avengers, Black Widow.
Black Widow will be available on Disney + in the USA
If the French branch of the studio insists on the theatrical release of Black Widow, it is because the American branch has opted for a slightly different strategy: across the Atlantic, the film will be available on July 9, 2021, both in American theaters and on the SVOD Disney + platform, where it will be possible to acquire it for the sum of $ 29.99, in addition to the basic subscription to the service.
A strategy that Disney had already applied in 2020 for the release of Mulan, which was found in paid access on Disney + in the United States in the same way.
More than 20 Marvel films already available in France
In France, the chronology of the media makes such a proposal impossible: indeed, French law prohibits a film studio from releasing a film in the cinema at the same time as on VOD.
Black Widow will therefore only be available on Disney + three years after its theatrical release in France.
In the meantime, more than twenty MCU films are already available in the catalog of the Disney + service, a good opportunity to refresh your memory by July.
