This led to Marvel getting a new release timeline as Black Widow was received a later release date. West Side Story will now be released on December 10, 2021.
The remake of the 1961 musical stars Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler. The new release date could be an indication that there is some hope for awards contention.
