Disney and Marvel Studios, as of this moment, are still planning to release Black Widow in theaters. That's the plan right now, but plans always have the potential to change. This week, we explore the different factors Disney may look at and how VOD and Disney+ could, at some point, become a more attractive option, even for a film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We also look at how Marvel Studios could use Disney+ to have its own virtual Hall H panels without San Diego Comic-Con.

Disney and Marvel Studios have pulled Black Widow from its May 1 release date and suspended all active productions due to the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19). These include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki right now, but even more upcoming productions could be impacted. Obviously, none of these impacts are of primary concern with respect to COVID-19, but they are signs of how our way of life has changed for the time being and it's okay for fans to feel disappointed. This news, of course, is relevant to this podcast, so host Sean Gerber delivers his full analysis of these stories and more in this episode.

We're back to our "Expanding the Universe" series with perhaps Marvel Studios' most intriguing Phase Four project, WandaVision. The upcoming Disney+ series will showcase Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as the Scarlet Witch while also giving us another look at Vision (Paul Bettany) after he died in Avengers: Infinity War. Is he alive again, or only in Wanda's mind? What exactly is a half-sitcom, half-MCU epic? Is Wanda the source of these sitcom-influenced realities? If so, is she generating them willingly? We ponder these questions and more in this episode!
