New extended look at Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow”

If you were watching tonight’s National Championship game between the Clemson Tigers and the LSU Tigers on ESPN you likely got to see a brand-new special look at Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow.”

Black Widow is the code name of Natasha Romanoff (played by Scarlett Johansson). It’s not an origin story, but rather a return to the roots of the character and a time before she became an Avenger.

Watch the special look trailer:

We see a new character in the special trailer – The Taskmaster. He (or she) is an old foe from the comic books.

As for time-line we understand that this movie takes place between Doctor Strange and Black Panther. That means a few other people from the Marvel Cinematic Universe could show up as well.

Update: Marvel Studios also dropped a new featurette covering the legacy of Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, since her first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe 10 years ago in “Iron Man 2.”

About the film:

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.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, “Black Widow”—the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—hits U.S. theaters on May 1, 2020.
