‘Black Widow’: Scarlett Johansson Has Unfinished Business in Action-Packed New Trailer
“One thing’s for sure. I’m done running from my past.”
In an explosive new trailer Marvel dropped over the weekend, one thing is clear: Whatever her fate at the end of the Avengers: Endgame, Natasha Romanoff — aka the Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson — had to reckon with her past as an operative at some point.
That’s clearly part of the deal in Black Widow, in which Natasha goes home to Mother Russia to see her sister Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and reckons with who she once was. She says as much in the trailer: “One thing’s for sure. I’m done running from my past.”
In this new preview we get some of the same scenes seen in previous trailers for the pandemic-delayed movie but definitely a slightly different feel as we see scenes from the Black Widow’s time in the Avengers, up to the moment near the end of Endgame when she meets her apparent fate. It lends a more tragic edge to an otherwise blistering series of action sequences as Natasha and Yelena face off against their mysterious nemesis, the Taskmaster.
