Spoiler warning for the highest-grossing movie of all-time but not even death can stop the Black Widow. After the climactic events of Avengers: Endgame, Natasha Romanoff is finally getting the big-screen origin story that maybe would’ve made more sense like eight years ago. But better late than never.
Check out the first trailer for Marvel’s Black Widow.
Scarlett Johansson is obviously the star (and now producer) of the prequel. Set between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Natasha is more alone than ever as a fugitive on the run following the breakup of her surrogate Avengers family. So she turns to her older secret Russian family from her Black Widow assassin training days.
That family includes Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Natasha’s younger sister widely suspected to take up the MCU Black Widow mantle in later movies. We’ve also got David Harbour as Red Guardian, a wildly out of shape old Soviet answer to Captain America. Rachel Weisz makes a brief appearance as mentor Melina Vostokoff. And action scenes offer brief glimpses of versatile villain Taskmaster.
Like the morally ambiguous super spy herself, it seems like the Black Widow movie could go in one of two ways. It can either secretly setup a lot of new plotlines and mysteries for later spy-heavy Marvel movies to uncover. Or it can wrap up the unfinished business that is giving the first lady of the Avengers her due. We’ll find out when the movie releases next May. In the meantime, check out this Black Widow poster and learn more about Natasha’s fate in Endgame.
