Scarlett Johansson Go on Black Widow
Black Widow is the first entry in the series since the apparent finale, “Avengers: Endgame,” in April, this stand-alone spinoff flashes back to the events following the 2016 film “Captain America: Civil War.”
“Black Widow,” directed by Cate Shortland, hits theaters on May 1.
Speaking about the film, Johansson said that the film packs “a big punch” and that it’s been “liberating in a way” to act as executive producer for the first time for a Marvel film.
“I feel like I’m in control of the destiny of this film, which gives me a lot more peace of mind,” she said.
Johansson’s character, Natasha Romanoff, has been separated from her Avengers cohorts, although we see glimpses of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). She returns to her native Russia and reunites with her makeshift former family after engaging in some hand-to-hand combat with her “sister,” Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh).
Along with the parental figures Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Iron Maiden (Rachel Weisz), the ex-KGB assassin Natasha vows to take care of “unfinished business.” Naturally, it involves riding motorcycles, shooting guns and jumping out of helicopters.
Other films in Marvel’s Phase Four will include The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder.
Black Widow will be released in cinemas on 1 May, 2020.
