Marvel Studios is celebrating 100 days untilBlack Widowhits theaters with a new teaser. The standalone Natasha Romanoff movie starring Scarlett Johansson lands on May 1st. Marvel studios has been quietly rolling out more footage from the highly anticipated upcoming movie, giving fans more to speculate about in the process. With that being said, the latest teaser is all made up from previously released footage from the first trailer and another teaser that was released a few weeks ago.
Natasha Romanoff will finally get her story toldon the big screen withBlack Widow. Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have been waiting for nearly a decade for it to happen, and the same thing can be said for Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye. Thankfully, theHawkeyeseries is on the way and it will land on Disney+ in 2021. As for Romanoff’s movie, it takes place after the events ofCaptain America: Civil Warand beforeInfinity War. There’s a lot of ground to cover and it’s believed that some flashbacks will be used too.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has said in the past thatBlack Widow will help to set the table for the MCU’s Phase 4and beyond. As for how that will come about, that is a pretty big mystery as of now. MCU fans know what happens to Natasha Romanoff during the events ofInfinity Warand saw her sacrifice inAvengers: Endgame. She fights Thanos and then gives her life in order for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to get a second chance against the Mad Titan to reverse his deadly snap.
We’ve seen aFunko Pop! figure from Black Widowthat features a red vial in Natasha Romanoff’s hand. There has been a great deal of speculation as to what could be the red substance held within it. Some MCU fans believe that it could be some Pym Particles, which would mean that some time travel will be a factor in the movie. However, the Russo Brothers, along with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, maintain that all of the big screen deaths are permanent. WillBlack Widowgo back in time to save Natasha, keeping her alive in the current MCU timeline? That seems a little too easy for Marvel Studios, but anything is possible.
Black Widowwill kick of Phase 4 in May and then will be followed by theEternalsmovie in November. As for how thestandalone Natasha Romanoff moviewill tie into the future, there could always be a mid or post-credit scene to help usher in these new characters and maybe even hint at how they have been around this whole time. Kevin Feige has confirmed thatEternalstakes place after the events ofAvengers: Endgame, but how are they connected? We’re just going to have to wait and see. While we wait, you can check out the latestBlack Widowteaser below, thanks to theMarvel Entertainment Twitteraccount.
