Marvel’s highly-anticipated “Black Widow” movie has got an early release date in the UK.
Disney confirmed in a press statement that the Black Widow now has an early release date on October, 28th in the UK, about a week earlier than the U.S. release date, which falls on November 6th.
The movie features one of the most beloved characters from the Avengers franchise. Black Widow has been in the works for a fairly long time, however, its release was postponed due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Marvel movies have been the kickoff to the summer movie-going season for the past years.
The black Widow is a prequel set in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, in particular, taking place in the two-year gap between “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War“.
Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanova, who died heroically in Avengers: Endgame.
The highly-anticipated movie also features David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz. It is directed by Cate Shortland.
Johansson has already portrayed the character in previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films, such as “Iron Man 2” (2010), “The Avengers” (2012), “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), “Captain Marvel” (2019), and “Avengers: Endgame” (2019).
Speaking about the role, Johansson said: "I get to play Natasha as a fully realised woman and in all of her many facets. I’m excited for fans to see the flawed side of her, what she perceives to be the flawed side of her, and I’m looking to wipe out some of that red in my ledger so you guys will be seeing more of that."

The novel coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, China, and has infected more than one million people and killed over 234,139 worldwide. It also hit a number of celebrities and top political figures around the world.
On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 800,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.
Coronavirus can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
The virus caused complete paralysis in all activities and events with large gatherings worldwide due to concerns over the spread of the virus.
Furthermore, countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.
