    Auto Batman
    The Batman: The ongoing coronavirus crisis has pushed back the release dates of many Warner Bros. films, including Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Robert Pattinson-starrer, which was earlier scheduled to hit the big screens on June 25, 2021, will now release on October 1, 2021. The release of the film has been postponed owing to the production delays due to the shutdown of the entertainment industry caused by the spread of COVID-19. Image Credit: Twitter / Matt Reeves

    Mulan: Despite hosting a red carpet premiere, Disney delayed the release of it’s live-action ‘Mulan’ remake last month. But in a note of optimism that North American movie theatres could reopen sooner rather than later, ‘Mulan’ — the tale of a legendary Chinese warrior — is now tentatively set to launch July 24. Here’s keeping our fingers crossed. Image Credit: AP

    Black Widow: Another Disney film that rolled over was the highly anticipated origin story of Marvel superhero Black Widow. ‘Black Widow’ starring Scarlett Johansson, the first of the new “phase” of the record-breaking superhero franchise, will now debut in November. Image Credit:

    The Eternals: Naturally, if 'Black Widow' got the push, then it was expected that Marvel would push the rest of its films further down the line. The star-studded Eternals, featuring Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan, Kit Harington (and half of Hollywood), vacated its November slot for Black Widow and will now release on February 12, 2021.

    Daniel Craig in No Time to Die (2020)1-1583307063959
    No Time to Die: The global release of the new James Bond film ‘No Time to Die’ was one of the first major projects to be postponed from April until November, amid an outbreak of coronavirus. “The film will be released in the UK on November 12, 2020 with worldwide release dates to follow, including the US launch on November 25, 2020,” a posting on the official James Bond Twitter account said last month.

    TAB_190318_Vanguard_CE05~1-1552920833085
    Vanguard: The release of Jackie Chan’s latest film ‘Vanguard’, filmed partially in Dubai, was pushed back in January due to the deadly coronavirus breakout in China. All worldwide releases of the film have been postponed. Studios behind seven upcoming Chinese releases, originally meant to screen during the lucrative Lunar New Year holiday, made the decision to delay their films to prevent the possible spread of the coronavirus in cinema halls. Chan was in Dubai in March of last year to film ‘Vanguard’. A new date of release for the film has not been set. Image Credit:

    Wicked
    Wicked: The smash-hit Broadway production was finally headed to a cinema near us, but looks like ‘Wicked’ fans are going to have to wait even longer to see Stephen Daldry’s film adaptation of the popular musical. Universal Pictures announced that another handful of theatrical release dates are shifting due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has bumped ‘Wicked’ off the calendar entirely for the moment.

    F9: Last month, Universal Pictures also announced its Fast and Furious sequel ‘F9’ will now open next year, on April 2, 2021. The Fast and Furious movies are always big earners at the domestic and international box office and the absence of ‘F9’ will impact the 2020 box office in a major way. The past two films have made over $1 billion. Image Credit:

Those expecting ‘83 to release on a streaming platform in the coming months have a long wait coming, with producers Reliance Entertainment denying such rumours. Image Credit:
