#5 Black Widow
Marvel finally announced after years of speculation that a stand-alone Black Widow movie was coming, dropping the news at the 2019 Comic.We had our first trailer for the film by the end of the year, a prequel to Captain America’s events: Civil War. Carlett Johansson’s character was on the run at the end of the Civil War, having sided with Steve Rogers during the Sokovia Accords conflict, and the trailer reveals that Natasha Romanoff will be working under the Black Widow umbrella, the first participant in the MCU’s Phase 4.
“I heard you had to leave in a hurry,” says William Hurt’s General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the video, which opens with a Budapest aerial shot. Every Marvel fan knows that the Hungarian capital plays a big part in the shady past of Black Widow, and on her search for closure, she will be revisiting the city. “We need to go back to where it all started,” says Romanoff to her “mother,” Yelana Belova from Florence Pugh.

Belova is another Red Room commodity, the infamous training facility that clearly has an unfinished business with Romanoff. Also the trailer gave us a good look at the big bad movie, Taskmaster, as well as the “family” from Romanoff’s time in training – Rachel Weisz is playing Melina Vostokoff and David Harbour is a slightly-out-of-shape Alexi Shostakov, a.k.a the Red Guardian. He’s essentially the Russian Captain America.
Scheduled release date: May 1, 2020
