How fleeting world domination can be. It can disappear in a snap.
Itâs been two years since the last Marvel film, an unfathomable chasm for an ever-churning movie machine. In between, Marvel has made its most ambitious forays onto television, with the streaming series âWandaVision,â âThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierâ and âLoki.â Marvel, of course, isnât going anywhere.
But itâs also possible that the pandemic hasnât just been a blip in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even before COVID-19 delayed the release of âBlack Widowâ and subsequent installments a year or more, âAvengers: Endgameâ felt very much like the conclusion of something. Can the most all-powerful juggernaut in movie history just pick up where it left off?
Black Widow is a satisfying detour for Marvel

Delayed from May last year and finally opening in cinemas here on July 8, Black Widow is an odd prospect.
It stands out by being the first Marvel movie that is completely standalone.
Its story does not affect past films, nor does it trigger any major movements for future outings.
In culinary terms, it is a palate cleanser – just one that took a very long time to arrive at the table.
