As a result, a delay of one movie could mean all the rest will need to follow suit, meaning The Eternals which was scheduled to be released in Autumn 2020, will have to be released at a later date, thus affecting all other releases for the franchise.

Some fans are calling on Disney to launch Black Widow on their new streaming platform, Disney+, exclusively to take the place of the film’s cinematic release.

This has been done already with Frozen 2, which has been released on the platform three months earlier than anticipated, and Universal studios have taken to releasing some of their movies online as well, such as Trolls World Tour.

As well as this, fellow superhero movie Birds of Prey is to be released online earlier than expected as well.
