Natasha, Yelena and Taskmaster are ready for action in these exclusive Black Widow images
A new look at the next Marvel movie

Yes, it’s been a while since we last had a Marvel movie. More than a year ago, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame wrapped up the third phܫase of the Cinematic Univer🔥se and became the highest-grossing film of all time in the process.
But, the wait is nearly over, and for the first film in Phase 4, Marvel will be jumping back in time (a little) to delve into♕ the backstory of one of its best-loved characters, Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow.
Set after the events of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain America: Civil War, Black Widow’s solo movie sees her reuniting with her Russian ‘family’, Yelena (Florence Pugh), Melina (Rachel Weisz) and Alexei (David Harbour), who’s Russia&rꦺsquo;s answer to Captain America (known by the superhero name Redꩲ Guardian).
Also in the mix is mystery villain Taskmaster, a masked baddie who can imi🦂tate his opponents’ fighting styles, and who has connections to the Red Room of Natasha’s past.
Above, you can see an exclusive new 🐬image of Johansson and Pugh ൲in Black Widow, taken from the upcoming issue of our sister publication, . You can see two more exclusive images – featuring Taskmaster and Yelena in action, below.

The decision to make Black Widow a family drama came from Marvel producer Kevin Feige. “[That decision] was puzzling to me,” director Cate Shortland tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film. “And then I realised, by the end, that Kevin and I had similar visions. What I really wanted to do was to expose the character and get under her skin. The family created the dynamic with which that would happen. We see a different side of the character, because she’s in scenes with people that know her from when she was a child. She’s not a superhero in those scenes; she’s a daugh🥀ter or a sister.”
