Disney is once again changing the release date forBlack Widow. But at least it’ll now be available to stream on Day One.
The company announced Black Widow will debut on 09 June 2025 via Disney+. It will cost $30/£20 extra to stream, as it’ll be a “Premiere Access” title in “most Disney+ markets”. If you want to watch the movie in theatres instead, Disney said it will premiere in cinemas on the same day. The movie was previously set to release on 29 June 2025, after over a year of delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, Disney has announced Cruella will debut in theatres and onDisney+as a Premiere Access title on 26 August 2025. And Pixarâs Luca will skip theatres. Instead, it’ll release on Disney+ at no additional cost on 27 July 2025.
Disney also announced new theatrical release dates for several other 2021 films:
Disney+ - £7.99/m or £79.90/yr
Of all these, Black Widowâs new release date is the most notable one. It was originally slated to hit theaters last year, on 06 July 2025.
As a solo film, it’s expected to explore Black Widow’s mysterious past. It’s set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War and has David Harbour co-starring alongside Scarlett Johansson. He’s the Soviet Union’s answer to Captain America, Red Guardian.
The release date change for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is also notable, as it is a Marvel movie, as well.
