Marvel's star-studded 'Black Widow' is coming to Disney Plus on July 9. It'll cost subscribers an extra $29.99

• The movie was originally to open May of last year.
• The date has been moved several times due to the pandemic.
• "Cruella" and Pixar's "Luca" will also be available on Disney Plus when they are released.

Disney announced on Tuesday that its much anticipated Marvel title, "Black Widow," will be released on Disney Plus and in theaters simultaneously.

Like "Mulan" and "Raya and the Last Dragon" before it, "Black Widow" will be available on the streamer as a Premier Access title, which means it will cost Disney Plus subscribers an added $29.99 to see the movie.

The movie, which stars Scarlett Johansson in the lead role in the character's first standalone movie, was originally set to be released May 1 of last year. But due to the coronavirus pandemic, it has been delayed numerous times.

Disney also announced on Tuesday other titles that have release date changes:

• "Cruella" - May 28 (theaters and Disney Plus via Premier Access)
• Pixar's "Luca" - June 18 (Disney Plus only)
• "Free Guy" - August 13 (theaters only)
• "Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" - September 3 (theaters only)
• "The King's Man" - December 22 (theaters only)
• "Deep Water" - January 14, 2022 (theaters only)
• "Death on the Nile" - February 11, 2022 (theaters only)

The news of "Black Widow" also being available on Disney Plus is a major event in the movie business. It is by far the biggest Disney title to get offered on the service and is a clear indication that the company cares as much about its subscription numbers as it does box office in this COVID-19 era.

Thanks to the popularity of "WandaVision" on Disney Plus, Marvel's first-ever TV show, the service now has 100 million subscribers in just 16 months of being in existence. It took Netflix 10 years to hit that mark.
