ACCORDING to Tom Holland, the cast and crew of Spider-Man: No Way Home is “pestering” Marvel Studios for a special screening of Black Widow.
The Scarlet Johansson’s solo film, is the first installment in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As filming winds down on the Spider-Man threequel swinging into theaters in December — bringing an end to Holland’s six-movie Spider-Man deal he hopes to renew for Homecoming 4 and beyond — the actor is attempting to use his Spidey status to convince Disney-owned Marvel to preview Black Widow, the thrice-dated spy thriller led by his three-time MCU co-star Johansson in the character’s first standalone movie:
Tom told Screen Rant ahead of the Cherry release, “We’ve been pestering Marvel for weeks to see if they’ll set up a screening for Black Widow for us, but they haven’t.
“So if you’re watching, Marvel, sort it out, because we want to watch it (laughs).”
2020 became the first year without a Marvel Studios movie since 2009 when Black Widow moved from November to its current slot on May 7, 2021, one year after its original May 2020 release date.
“I mean, confidence is meaningless in today’s world because nobody knows anything. Hope springs eternal,” Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige told ComicBook.com in January when asked if the studio believes it can keep Black Widow on May 7.
“A year delay you hope would be enough, there’s a vaccine out there now. We’ll see. I certainly hope so. I want to be back in the theater with people.”
After Black Widow, currently set to open May 7 only in theaters, Marvel Studios has set Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for July 9 and the Chloé Zhao-directed Eternals for November 5.
Sony Pictures will release Marvel Studios co-production Spider-Man: No Way Home only in theaters on December 17. (ROHN ROMULO)
