2021 Disney Slate is Long and Promising
The release of the 2021 Disney slate is an exciting day for any Disney fan, and with the addition of 20th Century and Disney+ titles to the existing Disney and Marvel franchises, 2021 promises to be a strong and promising year.
Due to COVID, there were some delays in production but it gave us a chance to practice patience in the name of safety in order to keep cast and crew virus-free. The list below is long and diverse, featuring both animated and live-action shows and movies. The list is — thankfully — heavy on Marvel and doesn’t hold back when it comes to filling gaps left behind in the absence of any huge Marvel movie releases in 2020.
Prominently felt was the absence of Black Widow, but many of us, myself included, are happy the release was pushed back in the hopes of an actual theater debut. It’s worthy of a big screen release…and a chance for me to sport my Black Widow Vans, purchased right before the shutdown, when we were planning on seeing the movie on its original release date.
The complete slate — as of today — is listed below, along with release date, studio and where you’ll be able to view it. Keep it handy, so you can plan those Zoom watch parties with family and friends. Let me know if you notice one glaring omission, one that’s the focus of a lot of speculation. I hope to see it pop up at some point, but at least we get the Book of Boba Fett!
