The coronavirus has essentially grounded Hollywood to a screeching halt, with films being pushed back, productions being shut down and celebrities isolating themselves so as not to be infected. This has also caused the marketing cycles for the films and television shows to grind to a halt as well, which includes Scarlett Johansson’s upcoming film, Black Widow.
Scarlett Johansson’ Black Widow had previously appeared in Avengers: Endgame where she sacrificed herself so Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye could obtain the Soul Stone. The solo Black Widow film was already in production when this was revealed so it was generally agreed upon that the film would take place some time in between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Unfortunately, the film has also been delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus so we’ll sadly have to wait a little longer for these answers. This, however, has not stopped Marvel Studios and Disney from trickling out some new promotional material to keep audiences aware that the film still exists.
Recently, Scarlett Johansson and Black Widow were featured on Total Film’s subscriber cover. You can see the full image below:

Here is the official synopsis for Marvel Studios’ Black Widow:
In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.
Directed by Cate Shortland from a script written by Eric Pearson based on a story by Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson, the film stars Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, Ray Winstone, Olivier Richters, and Rachel Weisz.
Black Widow will be released on a future date to be determined.
