Title: Black Widow

Release Date: May 1, 2020

Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz, David Harbour & William Hurt

Directed By: Cate Shortland

Synopsis: At birth the Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanova) is given to the KGB, which grooms her to become its ultimate operative. When the USSR breaks up, the government tries to kill her as the action moves to present-day New York, where she is a freelance operative. The standalone film will find Romanoff living in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union.

The CTJ Report’s Take: MCU Phase 3 ended with Avengers: Endgame & Spider Far From Home and now Black Widow has the daunting task of starting Phase 4.  The visuals from Black Widow are amazing as well as the action scenes.  The events of this movie take place between Civil War & Infinity War.  This looks to be how Romanoff comes to grips with who she is and how she plans to make things right.
