After sacrificing her life in order to save the universe during the
dramatic events of Avengers: Endgame, audiences wondered how, exactly,
the solo Black Widow movie
would play out. Well, Black Widow is going to turn back the clock, to a
time when the intrepid spy did not have The Avengers backing her up and
will delve into the character’s backstory. An experience that will be
‘surprising’ according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
“She has such a rich backstory…We’ve hinted at it throughout all the
other films. But we approach it in a completely unexpected way. She’s
been up to a lot all along – in between when we see her in the other
movies – some of which will be surprising to people.” RELATED: Black
Widow Delay Causes Marvel’s MCU to Break a Long-Standing Tradition
Knowing the movie is set following the events of 2016’s Captain
America: Civil War, audiences will get to see what Black Widow got up to
during a time when superheroes have been outlawed. Not only that, but
according to Feige we’ll also be learning, if not outright seeing some
of Natasha Romanoff’s activities between other Marvel movies too.
Considering that her pre-Captain America: Civil War appearances
include the likes of Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Captain America: The
Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron, that is potentially a lot of
filling in that needs to be done, with ample opportunities for Black
Widow to get into some action-packed espionage escapades.
Even just the events between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers:
Infinity War have a lot of ground to cover. Following the superhero
civil war, Natasha Romanoff finds herself a fugitive having aided Steve
Rogers and Bucky Barnes in their escape. Black Widow will need to
chronicle the adventures that Scarlett Johansson’s character got into
with her old Russian allies before circling back with Steve and his
anti-Sokovia Accords team to stop terrorists in the lead up to Infinity
War.
At birth, the Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanova, is given to the KGB,
which grooms her to become its ultimate operative. When the U.S.S.R.
breaks up, the government tries to kill her as the action moves to
present-day New York, where she is a freelance operative. Now, Natasha
Romanoff finds herself alone and forced to confront a dangerous
conspiracy with ties to her past. Pursued by a force that will stop at
nothing to bring her down, Romanoff must deal with her history as a spy
and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an
Avenger.
Black Widow will be the 24th installment in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe. The movie was directed by Cate Shortland and written by Eric
Pearson from a story by Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson, and Black Widow cast
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow alongside Florence
Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, William Hurt, Ray Winstone, and
Rachel Weisz.
Black Widow is scheduled for release on November 6, 2020. Its release
was delayed from an original May 2020 date due to the current global
circumstances. This comes to us from a recent interview Kevin Feige did
with Total Film Magazine.
