The upcoming Tom Clancy film, Without Remorse, has been delayed until February 2021, but not for the reason fans may think. 

Without Remorse was originally set to be released in September 2020, but was previously pushed back to October 2nd due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The film release has been further delayed and is now set to premiere February 26th, 2021. But unlike other films, such as Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, which was originally set to release July 17th, it was not due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Recently, several movies’ release dates and production processes have been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak, including Disney’s live-action Mulan. But Paramount’s decision to delay the forthcoming Tom Clancy film was an attempt to have less box-office competition. 

Without Remorse isn't the only project affected by the Covid-19 outbreak sweeping the globe. Wonder Woman 1984 was previously delayed back in March and was given a new release date in August 2020. It was later again redated to October 2nd, the same premiere date as Without Remorse. Following this news, Paramount made the decision to push the Tom Clancy film back to avoid a clashing release date. 

The film stars Michael B. Jordan, who was critically acclaimed for his supervillain role in Marvel’s Black Panther. Jordan plays Navy SEAL John Clark, out to avenge his wife’s murder, only to find himself inside a larger conspiracy. 

Without Remorse is set to hit theaters on February 26th, 2021.
