Before she was ever fighting alongside the Avengers, Natasha Romanoff had a long uncovered history. Now, the Marvel superhero known as “Black Widow” gets to tell her story, with the release of Black Widow on Disney+.

One of most-anticipated films of the year, Black Widow arrived nearly 11 months after it was originally scheduled for release. Postponed due to Covid, the Marvel blockbuster premiered on Disney+ with Premier Access, and in movie theaters across the country. Now,  Black Widow will be available to stream for all subscribers on Wednesday, October 6.

The film didn’t come without its moment of controversy — Scarlett Johansson and Disney settled a breach of contract lawsuit over the film, according to the The Hollywood Reporter. The actress claimed she lost out on potential box office profits from Disney’s decision to stream Black Widow on Disney+ simultaneously with the theatrical release.

When Does Black Widow Come Out?

Black Widow premiered on July 9th in theaters and on Disney+ and kicked off “Phase Four” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, giving us a glimpse into the backstory of Scarlett Johansson’s Romanoff, as she reunites with her family and sets out on a high-stakes mission to take down the “Red Room” facility seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Previously only available with Premier Access, the film dropped for all Disney+ subscribers on October 6th.

The action-packed film is set between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Since Romanoff — spoiler alert! — sacrificed her life in Avengers: Endgame to help secure one of the Infinity Stones in order to stop Thanos, this is technically a mid-quel (not quite a prequel) for her character.

So grab some popcorn, strap in, and enjoy the ride alongside one of the most elite supersoldiers in the world: here’s how to stream Black Widow.
