Black Widow Promo Art Shows Natasha on the Attack

The future of Marvel’s Black Widow is currently in a state of flux after the film’s May premiere date was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. While the film might not currently have a release date, new promotional material surrounding the film is beginning to trickle out — including a pretty epic promo poster. The photo, which you can check out below, shows Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in a fighting stance, while sporting her brand new costume.

In Marvel Studios‘ action-packed spy thriller Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger. Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. The film is directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige.

“I feel like I’m in control of the destiny of this film, which gives me a lot more peace of mind,” Johansson said in a previous interview. “I know her better than anybody. What was her childhood like? What is her relationship to figures of authority? This character is gritty and multi-dimensional but has a lot of trauma and has led an unexamined life. In order to operate at this elite level, she has probably had to push away a lot of stuff.”

“It’s a film about self-forgiveness and it’s a film about family,” Johansson said last November. “I think in life we sort of come of age many times and you have these kind of moments where you’re in a transitional phase and then you move sort of beyond it and I think in the Black Widow standalone film I think the character is at, when we find her, a moment of real crisis, and throughout the film, by facing herself in a lot of ways and a lot of things that make her, her, she actually kind of comes through that crisis on the other side and we start to be able to reset where she’s a more grounded, self-possessed person. So that’s her journey, well, I hope anyway.”

Black Widow does not currently have a release date.
