The film -- which also stars Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Rachel Weisz, among others -- was initially supposed to debut May 1, 2020, before it was bumped further in the year. It was then ultimately moved to 2021 -- but its debut date had remained a mystery to movie fans until now.

Marvel Studios' parent company, Disney, made the announcement Tuesday and also revealed that the live-action "101 Dalmatians" prequel, Cruella, starring Emma Stone in the title role, will get a theatrical/Disney+ Premiere Access debut on May 28.

The announcement comes on the heels of the successful simultaneous theatrical and Disney+ Premiere Access release last year of Disney's "Mulan." Most recently, Disney's "Raya and the Last Dragon" got the same treatment. Also, Disney/Pixar's "Soul" was released on regular Disney+, as well as in limited theaters, last Christmas.
