Two highly-anticipated Disney movies, Black Widow and Cruella, will now be released in theaters and on Disney+ simultaneously. This hybrid release plan aims to cater to both in-person and at-home viewers. With the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, this move allows Disney to reach a wider audience and maximize their film's potential. Black Widow, a superhero movie starring Scarlett Johansson, will be available for purchase on Disney+ with Premier Access, while Cruella, a live-action prequel to 101 Dalmatians featuring Emma Stone, will be available for free to Disney+ subscribers in certain regions.
