Janelle Monรกe, the not-so-secret weapon of 'Glass Onion'
As much as Janelle Monรกe has been a natural, full-body entertainer and a red-carpet head-turner, it has sometimes seemed since her two 2016 big-screen debuts in โHidden Figuresโ and โMoonlightโ that Hollywood hasnโt known quite how to fully harness the wide-ranging talents of such a self-propelled, mold-breaking Black female artist.

Bond film โNo Time to Dieโ delayed again because of virus
โNo Time To Dieโ was originally slated to open in April 2020 but was pushed back to November of that year as the virus swept around the world. It was then delayed again to April 2, 2021. The film from director Cary Joji Fukunaga stars Daniel Craig as 007, Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch and Ana de Armas. While mass-vaccination programs in many countries give hope that theaters can reopen, progress on immunization is slow. After the latest Bond delay was announced, Sony said it was pushing back several of its scheduled spring releases.
James Bond film โNo Time To Dieโ pushed again, to 2021
The release of the James Bond film โNo Time To Dieโ has been delayed again, this time to 2021, because of the effects of COVID-19 on the theatrical business. โNo Time To Dieโ was originally supposed to open in April 2020 but was pushed back to Nov. 12 in the U.K. and Nov. 20 in the U.S. The Walt Disney Co. last week delayed the planned 2020 releases of a handful of major movies until 2021. They include Marvelโs โBlack Widowโ and Steven Spielbergโs โWest Side Story.โ Universal delayed โCandymanโ to next year. Some major releases are still planned for 2020.
Disney delays 'Black Widow,' Spielberg's 'West Side Story'
NEW YORK โ The Walt Disney Co. has further postponed its next mega-movies from Marvel, including โBlack Widow,โ while also postponing Steven Spielberg's โWest Side Storyโ a full year in the company's latest recalibration due to the pandemic. The Scarlett Johansson Marvel movie โBlack Widow,โ last set for Nov. 6, heads to May 7 of next year. That was the date set for โWest Side Story,โ but Spielberg's musical will instead debut in December 2021. Given the interconnected nature of Marvel releases, the latest delay of โBlack Widowโ had a domino effect on other films. Since the pandemic began, the company's โMulan,โ โHamiltonโ and โArtemis Fowlโ have gone direct to streaming, with โMulanโ made available for a $30 premium purchase by subscribers.
