Tom Holland & Daisy Ridley's Chaos Walking Clip Reveals New Release Date

Fans have been waiting for years to see Chaos Walking arrive on the big screen, and now they'll have to wait even longer. On Thursday morning, Lionsgate announced that Chaos Walking has once again been delayed, but this time it's for a good reason. The film that has been stuck in various stages of production and post production for the better part of three years was set to arrive in January, but the release has now been shifted to March 5, 2021, in order to allow theaters more time to reopen. According to Lionsgate, this move is all about making sure fans can actually see the film in theaters, which seems a lot more likely in March.

Lionsgate shared the new release date alongside a clip from the film, which features the characters played by Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley meeting for the first time. Folks are certainly excited to see Spider-Man and Rey from Star Wars sharing the screen together, though it's been a while since they actually filmed their scenes. The two budding stars were cast in the film when the initially burst onto the scene, just after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Captain America: Civil War.

In this dangerous landscape, Viola's life is threatened – and as Todd vows to protect her, he will have to discover his own inner power and unlock the planet's dark secrets."
