We’re going to assume by now you’ve seen AVENGERS: ENDGAME, and know that Black Widow didn’t survive the events of that film. In fact she and Tony Stark / Iron Man both perished while attempting to undo what Thanos did. So it was a bit of a surprise when rumors started flying that a BLACK WIDOW movie would be one of the next big films from Marvel Studios… in fact, it was a bit strange as for the longest time Marvel hadn’t “officially” announced it, so it was only a rumor for several months. But then it was very much real, and thanks to Covid it was very much delayed… multiple times.  Now we have yet another new release date, and a new poster, and multiple ways to see it.  Plus below we can get another new look at Black Widow in a brand-new trailer. Directed by Cate Shortland (BERLIN SYNDROME), the cast includes Scarlett Johansson (as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow), Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz, David Harbour (as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian), William Hurt (back as Thaddeus Ross), Ray Winstone and O-T Fagbenle. There’s also rumors that Robert Downey Jr. may have a cameo as Tony Stark, as this film takes place before the events of ENDGAME. While I like the character of Black Widow, this sort of feels like too little too late, and compared to some of the other Marvel movies, it looks much more grounded in reality, which maybe isn’t a bad thing. I will say this newest trailer with even more Taskmaster action in it and more of the family dynamic is getting me more excited. Tell us your thoughts in the comments.

In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.

BLACK WIDOW opens in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access on July 9, 2021
