Sony has officially removedSilver & Blackfrom its release calendar , butTHRreports that the studio is actively searching for a replacement date . ( fit in toScreen Rant ’s own sources , Sony has been wary about the projection ’s status for quite awhile now . ) In the meantime , the studio apartment has filled the movie ’s former bit on February 8 , 2019 with the Tom Hanks WWII dramaGreyhound . This also gives Sony more flex way to re - evalute its Spider - Man spinoff plans , should the Tom Hardy - headlinedVenomfail to meet decisive and/or commercial expectations in October .

This move should benefitSilver & Blackin the long running game , seeing as it would have facedX - human beings : Dark Phoenixone calendar week afterward in its former release slot .
