The pandemic has struck again, and this time, it’s Marvel Studios who are having to shuffle their releases. Previously, Black Widow was set for a November release date, but with the pandemic not lightening up, Variety and others report that it’s not set for a May 7th, 2021 release. Which, ironically, is one year AFTER it was supposed to release the first time.
As for Eternals, it was supposed to release originally in late 2020, but then got pushed to February 2021, and now has been pushed to November 2021. Which one of the stars of the film felt was the right move.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings meanwhile was supposed to debut in May of 2021, but now that’s Black Widow‘s spot and so it’s being pushed to July 9th.
This won’t currently affect the 2022 slot of Marvel films, but, if something ELSE happens? All bets are off.
