BLACK WIDOW
(Theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access)
After Natasha Romanoff/Black Widowâs first onscreen appearance in âIron Man 2â way back in 2010, the super heroine Avenger finally gets her own feature.
Scarlett Johansson reprises her signature role in the excellent âBlack Widow,â a Marvel Universe saga that traces her history and then follows her efforts to wreak revenge on brutal master General Dreykov (Ray Winstone). âIâve lived a lot of lives before I was an Avenger,â Natasha tells Black Widow Yelena Bulova (Florence Pugh). âWe have to go back to where it started.â
In the filmâs prologue which takes place in 1995, young Natasha (Ever Anderson) lives with her mom Melina (Rachel Weisz), her dad Alexei (David Harbour) and her little sister Yelena (Violet McGraw) in Iowa. Everything seems idyllic until the day that Alexei comes home and tells the family that they have to leave in an hour. During their escape, they are followed by people who are shooting at them.
