BLACK WIDOW
Director: Cate Shortland
Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Rachel Weisz, O-T Fagbenle, Ray Winstone, William Hurt
Scarlett Johansson first introduced audiences to Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow back in 2010 when she first appeared Iron Man 2. Eleven years and many Avengers movies later, we get to dive deeper into her story with Black Widow. It was back in 1995 in Ohio when Natasha and her sister Yelena were separated from their parents (David Harbour and Rachel Weisz) as Agents of SHIELD appear to be after Harbour’s character, who’s also known as infamous Red Guardian. The girls were then taken into custody and are forced to join a Russian army program for young girls. The story jumps to Natasha hiding out in Norway following the events of Captain America Civil War. It’s here where she’s reunited with her sister, now played by Florence Pugh, who has gotten her hands on a synthetic gas used for mind control. They must put their differences and rivalry aside if they want to stop the dangerous Black Widow program once and for all. In theaters July 9 and will be streaming same day on Disney+ with Premier Access
