We Won’t Feel Pretty Until 2021 Because the Coronavirus Delayed West Side Story

For the love of Rita Moreno, we’re going to need vaccines, like, yesterday. Disney announced today that several of its prominent upcoming releases, including West Side Story, Black Widow, Death on the Nile, and Eternals, will be delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Vulture can confirm that the new release dates for these films will be the following: December 10, 2021, for West Side Story; May 7, 2021, for Black Widow; December 18, 2020, for Death on the Nile (yup, not a typo — later this year); and November 2, 2021, for Eternals. Additionally, the moody drama during which Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas allegedly fell “in love†while shooting got moved back to August 21, 2021. (It’s called Deep Water, BTW.) In the meantime, feel free to preemptively debate if all of the films will be flops or not. Below, the full list of Disney release dates.
