Tax Filing Status

My late wife passed away in 2018, and I read that I can file as married filing jointly with her for 2 years after her passing. I re-married in 2019, however, my current wife and I are not going to file jointly. Since I am still within the two years of my late wife's passing, can I still file my return as married filing jointly with my late wife's information for 2019 and 2020?

 

Thanks for your assistance.
