For the past ten years, we have followed Natasha Romanoff’s journey as she bravely fights alongside her male comrades in the Avengers. But being a spy means she has carefully guarded secrets. Now, we finally get a raw glimpse into her world with the much-anticipated Black Widow film. To celebrate a decade of her character, Scarlett Johansson graced the cover of EW magazine for April, giving us a sneak peek at exclusive stills from the upcoming movie.
The upcoming Black Widow solo film is set in the turbulent period between the Avengers’ breakup in Captain America: Civil War and their reunion in Avengers: Infinity War. Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow, is thrilled to explore this pivotal time in the character’s journey. She looks forward to delving into how Black Widow grows and develops into a more complex and multifaceted person, drawing from her complicated past.
As per Johansson, the strength of the character comes from her willingness to embrace her own vulnerabilities. Even without any extraordinary powers, she possesses a high level of emotional intelligence that helps her persevere through challenges.
Johansson has shared that the Black Widow movie represents her own growth and evolution in the last ten years. She feels that she has become more at ease delving into the challenging and less flattering parts of her character, something she couldn’t do previously. With age, she has developed more confidence in herself.
In this exclusive photo from the film, we see Natasha preparing to suit up for her next mission.
The film depicts Natasha reconnecting with the sole household she has ever called her own – a group of Russian spies who masqueraded as a family during her childhood. Among them are Melina (portrayed by Rachel Weisz) and Yelena (played by Florence Pugh).
