Set to hit screens on its new release date on July 9, 2021, comics fanatics are anxiously waiting for Marvel Studios’ Black Widow’s upcoming movie, starring Scarlett Johansson. The action-packed spy thriller will shed light on Natasha Romanova as a superhero while she “confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises.”
According to the film and television studio, Black Widow, “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.”
