Black Widow Scarlett Johansson magazine

Usually the movie comes out approximate to the tie-in stuff hitting the shelves, but since the pandemic there's been a lot of turmoil in how ancillary product comes out, for example the flurry of Gal Gadot Wonder Woman stuff that appeared last summer, but the release on the actual movie was delayed, moved and did not eventually land until December 25, 2020. It's starting to look like the same thing for that other flashback-into-the-past superheroine movie, Black Widow.

The Multiverse: the streaming wars and DCU vs MCU

The blueprint for interlocking streaming series may be foreshadowed by an experiment on linear TV. Since 2014, The CW has run annual crossovers among its DC superhero properties, culminating in 2019’s Crisis on Infinite Earths — an adaptation of a DC Comics storyline bringing together shows such as Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow that also featured cameos from other DC series and movies, including Ezra Miller’s big-screen Flash. “We started with the litmus of, ‘Do we think this is cool?’ But inevitably phrases like, ‘The fans are gonna love this’ and ‘People are going to go crazy’ would seep into our discussions,” says writer and producer Marc Guggenheim. “I think the Venn diagram between what we wanted and what the fans wanted is practically a circle.”
