The Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday overhauled its upcoming film release plans, postponing some of its biggest films and shifting Marvel’s “Black Widow,” among other titles, to Disney+ the same time they arrive in theaters. “Black Widow,” once planned to debut in May 2020, had been set to kickoff the summer on May 7. It will instead premiere July 9. It will do so simultaneously on the company’s streaming platform for a $30 early-access fee. For theaters the announcement was a blow. While bigger and bigger films have turned to streaming and premium-on-demand in recent months, Marvel movies are Hollywood’s most bankable box-office behemoths.

James Huntsman is a member of one of Utah’s most prominent families and has sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, accusing it of fraud. The federal lawsuit filed Monday says the church spent members’ donations that were solicited for charity on commercial purposes. He's seeking to recover millions of dollars in contributions and alleges the church has “repeatedly and publicly lied” about the use of billions of dollars in donations meant to pay for missionary work, temples and other educational and charitable work. A church spokesman calls the claims “baseless.” Huntsman is the brother of former U.S. diplomat and ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and son of late billionaire philanthropist Jon Huntsman Sr.

Oregon State’s trustees have accepted the resignation of university president F. King Alexander. They concluded Alexander was unable to rebuild trust at the school because of his role in the mishandling of sexual misconduct cases during his tenure at LSU. The Oregon State board of trustees had placed the president on probation last week but on Sunday received his offer to resign, effective April 1. Board chair Rani Borkar said that because of the outpouring of comments since the probation decision from students, alumni and people who have alleged sexual misconduct, “we now know that rebuilding trust is no longer possible.”

The White House is withdrawing its planned nomination of Elizabeth Klein to become deputy secretary at the Interior Department amid opposition from Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Klein, who worked at Interior during the Obama administration, was among five women named by then-President-elect Joe Biden to serve as deputy Interior secretaries. But she was never formally nominated and a White House spokesman said Tuesday she won't be named to the post. Two people familiar with Biden's thinking say he is likely to name Tommy Beaudreau, another former Obama-era Interior official, to be deputy secretary. 

Democrats say they are pushing toward a vote on expanded gun control measures as the nation reels from it its second mass shooting in a week. President Joe Biden says “we have to act,” but prospects for any major changes were dim, for now, in the closely divided Congress. In brief remarks responding to the shooting, Biden urged Congress to move quickly to close the loopholes in the background check system and also to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed Tuesday morning to bring House-passed legislation that would require background checks for most all gun sales and transfers to the Senate floor, whether it will pass or not. The attack in Colorado killed 10 people, including a police officer.

When a gunman opened fire at spas around Atlanta, killing eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, it awakened much of the rest of the country to incidents of racism and hate targeting Asian Americans that have spiked amid the coronavirus pandemic. The terror of the attack has many Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders hoping that pain and tragedy can help their community find a political voice with a level of power and influence befitting the nation’s fastest-growing ethnic minority. Many Asian Americans say feelings of being marginalized politically will take years to fully overcome, but there are already signs of change.

Evanston, Illinois, is using tax money from the sale of recreational marijuana to become the first U.S. city to make reparations available to its Black residents for past discrimination and the lingering effects of slavery. The Chicago suburb’s City Council voted 8-1 Monday to distribute $400,000 — largely from a 3% tax the sale of marijuana — to eligible Black households. Each qualifying household would receive $25,000 for home repairs or down payments on property. Qualifying residents must either have lived in or been a direct descendant of a Black person who lived in Evanston between 1919 to 1969 and who suffered discrimination in housing because of city ordinances, policies or practices.

The mayor of Detroit says the star of HGTV’s “Rehab Addict Rescue” apparently was “scammed” when she bought a blighted Detroit home from someone who wasn’t the owner. The Detroit Land Bank Authority holds the title to a house acquired in 2017 by Nicole Curtis. Curtis says she has spent $60,000 so far on repairs and other costs. The land bank has put the house on the market for $40,000. Curtis filed a lawsuit last week seeking to keep the property or be reimbursed. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan says the land bank simply can't turn the property over without getting something in return.
