The international media has reported that Marvel Studios’ spy thriller Black Widow has officially changed its release date. Instead, it will be available at the theatre since May 07, 2021.]]>

Disney has revealed that the standalone movie about Black Widow won’t be released in early November as initially planned. Instead, the blockbuster will be released next summer.

Black Widow Delayed

The international media has reported that Marvel Studios’ spy thriller Black Widow has officially changed its release date. If it was scheduled to hit wide screens on November 06 (according to the latest announcement), Scarlett Johansson’s standalone movie will be available at the theatre since May 07, 2021.

There have been some rumors about Disney and Marvel Studios’ decision to postpone Black Widow for several weeks. Accordingly, the reason behind it is supposedly because there has been no sign to recover in the cinematic market in North America.

While theatres in both New York and Los Angeles are still frozen due to the COVID-19 pandemic and only about 70% of the cinema cluster come back to their normal operation, director Christopher Nolan’s Tenet hasn’t even collected $40 million after more than two weeks of its release on the world’s largest cinematic market.

Black Widow plays a vital role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; and therefore, the following movies of this superhero trademark have no choice but to change their release dates. It worth mentioning that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Rings will be the MCU movie right after Black Widow, instead of Eternals. The movie about character Shang-Chi is expected to release on July 09, 2021.

Eternals is also shifted to November 05, 2021 - one year later than the first plan before the filmmakers decided to move to February next year due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

Death On The Nile
Death On The Nile is another movie to be shifted to a new release date.

Besides the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney has also changed the release dates of some projects produced by Fox before the acquisition in early 2019. Death On The Nile - the next movie about Detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) after Murder On The Orient Express (2017) - that is scheduled to be released on December 18, instead of October 23 as initially planned.

West Side Story - a musical drama movie that is directed by legendary director Steven Spielberg - isn’t reportedly released on December 10. Instead, the audience will have to keep waiting until December 18, 2021. Accordingly, this movie will no longer appear on the Film Festival 2020 - 2021.

West Side Story
West Side Story will no longer appear on the Film Festival 2020 - 2021.

Speaking of Deep Water, it is scheduled to release on August 13, 2021, instead of on November 13. The thriller movie stars Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas as the main characters.

According to Variety magazine, the changes in Disney’s release dates must make the owners of the theatres that has just re-opened face lots of difficulties. From now to mid-November when 007: No Time To Die is scheduled to release, they will have no notable movie to attract the audience to the theatres.

Obviously, the poor performance of Tenet at the box office has given clear signs that the entertainment economy has yet to recover after the pandemic and it was not the right time for Black Widow to come!]]>

A few days ago, the internet was taken by storm after the much-awaited Wonder Woman 1984’s release date was extended to Christmas Day. Meanwhile, speculations are also doing the round that fans of Black Widow will also have to wait for a few more months to watch the movie on the big screen. Obviously, the poor performance of Tenet at the box office has given clear signs that the entertainment economy has yet to recover after the pandemic and it was not the right time to release movies.

Another delay of Black Widow

After Warner Bros announced the delay of Wonder Woman, Black Widow fans are also on the nerves as Disney is also considering putting the movie on hold. It seems like the movie which was initially slated to release this November in the US will have to wait for a few more months to hit the cinema.

In fact, it wasn’t the first time the movie got delayed. Earlier this year, Black Widow, along with many other Hollywood movies were rescheduled as most of the cinemas across the world had to close due to the global health pandemic. Given the fact that Christopher Nolan’s Tenet failed to achieve the expected box office collection, Wonder Woman 1984, Black Widow and other upcoming movies like Jame Bones' No Time To Die need to be more careful when it comes to the release.

The US audiences aren't ready to come back to the cinema

Meanwhile, although two-third of the cinemas in the US have reopened, it seems like the audience has yet to get ready. In addition to that, major markets like Los Angeles or NYC remain closed. Used to be said to the only ray of hope to kick start the entertainment industry in the States, Tenet, however, came with a disappointing box office collection with only $29M in North America. On the contrary, the movie is a big hit in the international market with $177 million after the first two weeks.

Tenet

For the unversed, Black Widow is the 24th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is distributed by Walt Disney Studio. The superhero film revolves around the original Black Widow Natasha Romanova (played by Scarlett Johanson) and her untold story between the Civil War and Infinity War. In addition to that, the movie will also unveil a lot of speculation about the next Black Widow Yelena Belova played by Florence Pugh.

According to Johansson, one of the most important themes of Black Widow is the response to the Times Up and #MeToo movements]]>

It takes over 10 years for Black Widow to have her own movie and now, details of the character and the blockbuster itself are leaking out, fueling fans’ curiosity.

Ever since Black Widow made her first appearance in Iron Man 2, Marvel Universe has changed in a way most of us didn’t expect. Scarlett Johansson, the actress playing the role, recently shared her thoughts on these shifts with Empire magazine.

According to Johansson, one of the most important themes of the movie is the response to the Times Up and #MeToo movements. She said it was important for director Cate Shortland to make a movie about women helping other women get through hard situations.

It seemed to her that this theme was rather obvious. She said she had been asked if Natasha was a feminist and Johansson confirmed that she was.

This is evident in what we can make out from promo materials and trailers of the movie. Black Widow movie takes place before her death in Avengers: Endgame and it offers more details into Natasha’s story, like how she became the woman we know today. It will also feature Yelena Belova, played by Florence Pugh, taking over the role of Black Widow.

While little has been made public about the plot, it’s believed that the villain of the movie is Taskmaster, a skillful fighter who can mimic combat skills and abilities of anyone.

The identity of the Taskmaster is still shrouded in mystery as Disney hasn’t revealed who played the character yet, hinting at a surprise for fans when the movie is released. Until then, audiences will have to wait for some more time to see if the movie lives up to the hype.

Black Widow is to be released on November 6, 2020.

It’s official that Florence Pugh who is seen as Yelena in the prequel will take over the Black Widow baton while Scarlett Johanson steps down from the role after a decade.]]>

While there are many months ahead for the release of the much-anticipated Marvel film Black Widow, speculations have been doing the round for how the movie will pave a way for the next Avenger lineup of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a recent interview with Empire, director Cate Shortland eventually confirmed fan’s theories, saying Scarlett Johanson will step down from the role of Natasha Romanoff and another young female actress is ready to slay it. Scroll down for more details.

Scarlett Johanson will pass the baton to Florence Pugh?

Given the fact that her character died in Avengers: Endgame, it’s predictable that it will be the last time the 35-year-old leading star will feature in a Marvel film as Black Widow. Another speculation popped up about who will be the next Black Widow. According to Cate, it’s official that the 24-year-old Britain actress Florence Pugh who is seen as Yelena in the prequel will take over the Black Widow baton. ‘We knew she would be great, but we didn't know how great,’ said Black Widow director Cate Shortland.

Apart from telling the new female storyline, the upcoming Marvel movie also features a closure of sorts for the legendary Natasha Romanoff as a way to pay tribute to her sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. Talking about her last shots as Black Window, Scarlett revealed that her ending will be the grief that everyone can feel individually instead of a public outpouring.

A decade-long role for Scarlett

Scarlett Johanson was first seen in the role of Natasha Romanoff, also known as Blak Widow, a well-trained spy, and expert combatant since the 2010 Iron Man 2. Her stellar performance struck a chord among Marvel fans that the actress continued to team up with other MCU heroes in The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). The ending chapter of MCU phase three broke the world record as the world's highest-grossing movie of all time.

On the other hand, the next generation of Black Widow Florence Pugh is a young and potential actress who made her debut with mystery film The Falling (2014) and went to stardom with the drama Lady Macbeth. At the age of 24, the actress carved her own niche in the industry and won several film awards including an Oscar nomination for best-supporting actress in Little Women.

<![CDATA[This Minor Detail In Avengers: Endgame Suggests Black Widow Is Still Alive, And The Upcoming Movie Could Confirm It!]]> https://gurugamer.com/movies/minor-detail-endgame-black-widow-alive-9979 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 10:14:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/movies/minor-detail-endgame-black-widow-alive-9979
The death of Black Widow was a shock to Marvel fans, but this minor detail from Avengers: Endgame could mean the next movie will confirm she is still alive?]]>

One of the most emotional scenes in Avengers: Endgame (a movie that had no shortage of them) was the death of Black Widow. Natasha Romanoff had been a mainstay character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since her introduction in Iron Man 2 in 2009, and watching her depart after a decade of being the most recurring heroine in the MCU was heartbreaking.

While it will be great to see her again in the next Black Widow movie, which will be coming as a prequel, fans are still hopeful that Marvel can find a way to revive her character for a post- Avengers: Endgame movie. The possibility that this could happen is more feasible than might be expected and could be linked to a plot point that at first glance may have seemed like a continuity error.

How one minor detail in Endgame proves Black Widow is not truly dead

In Infinity War, Thanos traveled to Vormir to get the Soul Stone, where he was told that he had to sacrifice someone he loved to acquire it. At first, Gamora offered to sacrifice herself, but Thanos stopped her, reasoning that her suicide would be a sacrifice on her part and not his. Thanos then killed her himself, allowing him to obtain the gem.

Live Like Legends : AVENGERS INFINITY WAR - If I Could Tell Her ...
The death of Gamora did not yield Thanos his Soul Stone, Natasha's death did for Clint Barton

Following this theory, this actually contradicts Black Widow and Hawkeye's journey to Vormir in Avengers: Endgame. We clearly see that Black Widow commits suicide in this scenario, however, Clint Barton gets the Soul Stone. Therefore, it is not too exaggerated to believe that Natasha really could be brought back to life.

True, we saw a body, which by Marvel standards tends to mean literal death. Still, the fact that her sacrifice was used to retrieve the Soul Stone may suggest a spiritual transaction. Perhaps instead of actually dying, her soul was displaced, perhaps inside the stone or on another plane of existence. When Bruce Banner said he tried to bring her back but couldn't, perhaps the reason for this was that she wasn't really dead.

Marvel Phases And The Age Of Ultron Visions That Came True
Usually, when the body is shown, it could mean the character is dead. But this is the Marvel Universe we are talking about

Furthermore, there could be a relationship between Natasha and the Soul Stone that we are not fully aware of. Perhaps she was more aware of what would actually constitute a "sacrifice" on her part, and Hawkeye was not, and perhaps her next film could shed some light on this.

The Hydra-Natasha connection

While the events in Black Widow are confirmed to take place after Captain America: Civil War, we also know that this movie will also delve into the character's origin story and finally clarify her training as a Russian spy. This movie is another way of relating Natasha to the Soul Stone and could involve an organization that is firmly affiliated with it: Hydra.

red skull soul stone hydra
Red Skull's, and by extension Hydra's, connection to the Soul Stone is too important to miss

Russia's involvement in World War II meant that they certainly had contact with Hydra. Possibly there were Soviet officers who even deserted the organization (as did Americans), and they could have obtained more information about the Soul Stone in their dealings with Red Skull.

Perhaps Natasha will find out more information about the gem in this movie, and in Endgame she knowingly gave her life, knowing that she wasn't going to die at all. In that case, perhaps we can expect a post-credits scene in Black Widow that announces Natasha's return to the timeline after Endgame.

A few problems with this theory

Of course, there are a few things about this theory that seem a bit problematic. If she knew it was safe for her to sacrifice herself, why didn't she tell Hawkeye about it? They certainly would not have had to go through the trouble of that suicide fight, as wonderful to behold as it was.

Avengers: Endgame - Hawkeye and Black Widow Key Scene Explained ...
It's hard to imagine Natasha not telling her friend about something this important

Perhaps, however, Natasha still needed to pretend that she knew she was giving her own life. Perhaps Red Skull would have prevented them from acquiring the gem if he felt that Black Widow was breaking the rules. Maybe that's why the stone was given to Hawkeye, since his pain was real, even if Natasha's death was not.

Why Black Widow Scenes from Avengers: Endgame Trailers Were Cut ...
But Black Widow is a trained killer from very young and she can suppress her feelings for the job no matter what

Maybe it's a crazy theory, but here we are talking about Marvel, so logic and science have little to do with storytelling. If they decide that reviving Natasha would work at the story level, and as a way to appease fans, then opening up this avenue is as good as any other. For now, we can be grateful that Scarlett Johansson is reprising her role in this long-awaited solo film.

All we have to do now is to wait for the premiere to see if this theory comes true. And if the movie succeeds and smashes the box office like other MCU movies, which it has a very good chance of doing judging by the trailers and information that have come out, then there's no reason to believe Marvel wouldn't exploit its own inconsistency and minor plot points such as the one discussed above to bring back a beloved character.

Scarlett Johansson Roles, Ranked | CBR
Scarlett Johansson is too bankable of a movie star to be left out of any future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects

Comic book characters coming back to life have a long and illustrious tradition and someone like Black Widow who is portrayed by an actress as prominent as Scarlett Johansson has a very good chance of following that tradition.

While Iron Man’s death hit fans the hardest, and still plays an emotional toll on many, the sacrifice of Black Widow cannot be overlooked.]]>

Black Widow's alternate last stand in Avengers: Endgame is finally available online on Disney Plus. Before the movie was released, a lot of people expect that some characters would kick the bucket in Endgame, but "Black Widow" Natasha Romanoff was nowhere near the top of the list. This seems to be from a completely different cut of the movie - with a lot of details differs from what the Russo Brothers used in the final cut.

The scene we got in the theatrical version of Endgame was definitely more... personal to both Hawkeye and Black Widow, with them fighting each other for the right to sacrifice so that the others could live to bring back the Soul Stone. Things play out very differently in this original alternate death scene, however - they would arrive on Vormir and get ambushed by Thanos and his army on the way. Taking quite a few blaster shots on the chest, Natasha was reduced to a crawl - however, she still managed to jump off the cliff on time to save Clint Barton, as the Mad Titan Thanos is running up behind him.

Avengers Endgame Natasha Clint Vormir Copertina 12
The relationship between Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton is very bittersweet and tragic - they loved each other, but can never get together.

This scene is really violent and super unsettling, more action-packed but less emotional - maybe that is the reason the scene was removed. The theatrical version really showed the emotional depth and history between Clint Barton "Hawkeye" and Natasha Romanoff "Black Widow".  Apparently, there was another version with Hawkeye being the one sacrificed as well - but they decided against using it after consulting the opinions of the movie's female crew. According to them, the character of Black Widow deserves this last swan song.

"Black Widow", a prequel movie, is going to kick off the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on November 6th, 2020.]]>

The Black Widow 2020 movie, while being a prequel, is actually a very important movie for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to move forward. It would be the first movie to kick start the fourth phase, post Infinity Saga Era. As we all know, each movie in a phase of Marvel plays a part in crafting the grand overall story and Black Widow, being the first movie of the phase, should be extra important.

However, there are a lot of questions about how Marvel would be able to do it, as the movie is a prequel and the main character is now dead. In this article, we would list out for major ways that Black Widow can impact the MCU's future.

1 - Yelena Belova might become the new Black Widow

The original incarnation of a hero passing the torch to the second generation has always been a pretty popular event in comic book storytelling, despite rarely happen in animated or real movies. We have already seen that in the MCU with Hank Pym training Scott Lang for the role of the Ant-Man. With Natasha Romanoff perished in canon, it looks like the mantle of Black Widow would be taken up by someone else going forward. From what we can gather from trailers, it is very likely to be Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova.

In the comics, Yelena is trained to inherit the Black Widow title, and it certainly looks like the movie version is going to do the same thing. Due to the fact that Yelena trained at the same place and has the same set of skills with the first Black Widow - the overall spy/assassin gist of the character moving forward would remain intact.

2 - More about the history of the MCU - or maybe even a Hulk solo movie

Since her first introduction in Iron Man 2, Black Widow has been consistently shown to be one of the more elusive heroes in the MCU, with her backstory provided only in small doses over various dialogues in multiple movies. In her own solo movie, we can expect that a lot of those teaser dialogues to be expanded upon - we would learn more about her life before she became an Avenger, and maybe even details related to other characters. Black Widow is one of the first characters in the Avenger roster, and she is involved in recruiting almost all of the original lineup - in flashback sequences in her movie, various reveals might happen (an Iron man cameo by Robert Downey Jr. is already confirmed).

Thaddeus Ross The Raft Captain America Civil War 1

In this new movie, it is revealed that Natasha would have some history with Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, a villain that often appears in Hulk's origin stories (the guy was part of the Sokovia/Civil War storyline as well). Thaddeus Ross is also the Red Hulk (a version of Hulk with a different set of power) in the comics, but this is likely not going to be the case in the MCU.

The guy might even become Red Hulk in Marvel's upcoming She-Hulk show, starring Bruce Banner's cousin

3 - Taskmaster might be a recurring villain

Overall, Taskmaster is one of the cooler villains with an ability to mimic the fighting style/method of other heroes. His "copy ability" photographic reflexes have made the guy one of the best fighters in the Marvel Universe - and it would be a shame to have the guy removed after his first appearance. The "smaller-scale" power is also pretty refreshing and new, as in previous Marvel movies, most villains have world-breaking powers. A badass "supernormal" villain like Taskmaster would be a great addition to this phase and beyond.

Taskmaster's copying act: the guy can perform a lot of the schtick that the Marvel heroes could do

Admittedly, given the track record of Marvel Studios, it is very likely that this guy would be a one-off villain and killed after the first appearance. This is actually rather bad for long term developments, as one of the weakest parts in the Infinity War duology is Thanos' group of minor henchmen - they pretty much exist to be defeated and killed by the heroes. There is a lot about Taskmaster that we don't know, even the identity of the actor who's playing the character.

4 - Hawkeye backstory - and maybe a later solo movie

When the Avengers first assembled, they were a rag-tag band of random people united only by necessity - except for two characters, Black Widow and Hawkeye. It was eventually unveiled later on in the movie that these two have a lot of history together. This eventually accumulates and built up to create an awesome climax between them in Avengers: Endgame - Black Widow's struggle to become the one to die for the Soul Stone is one of the most intense and heartbreaking parts of the movie. With the requirement of Vormir being "you have to sacrifice the person you love most", people probably have realized the romantic tension between them.

Black Widow and Hawkeye were one of the greatest duos in the MCU's Infinity War storyline

With Hawkeye being the only original Avenger who hasn't had a solo movie, it is very likely that Black Widow's eventual success would lead to a prequel movie for Hawkeye down the line. It can also tie into the upcoming Hawkeye show that is going to air on Disney Plus as well. As BW 2020 is going to explore the "Red Room", their "Budapest" moment is yet to be depicted on screen - and such an important character-defining moment deserve better.

Black Widow is delayed to November 6th due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Interested in more of our posts related to this movie? Please check out this article for Robert Downey Jr.'s possible cameo and various Easter Eggs that can be found in the final trailer of the movie.

The Coronavirus plague has pretty much delayed every future Disney movie in the next 3 months. Mulan moves to July 2020, Indiana Jones 5 to 2022, New Mutants remains undated.]]>

Disney has just announced about the future of Marvel's next phase of movies - the fourth phase of the MCU would be delayed to at least November 2020. Black Widow, which was supposed to be released in May, is going to replace Eternals on the November 6, 2020 slot.

The Eternals would be shifted to Feb 12, 2021, which was Shang-chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings' slot... Overall, they just take the same slot but switched the movies - this is actually pretty creative, as they would not have to book new timers. These date changes would not affect only the MCU - Mulan, which was supposed to open in March, is postponed to July 24, 2020. Jungle Cruise, the movie in that time slot, is moved to 2021.

The release date for every movie would be shifted to the right by one

Disney is amongst the companies that are severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic - with the whole world put in quarantine, all public entertainment activities are put on hold. This, in turn, leads to the closing down of Disney's various businesses - their theme parks have shuttered, their movie lines have been delayed...

Disney Hotstar 1024
Various famous Disney movies and shows would now be available for streaming in India

The shift in dates means that Disney is definitely not going to release their movies straight into DVD and streaming services like people was expecting. This is a move to prevent money from getting wasted, as they just can't charge as much on streaming - the theater is where all the money is at. However, some of the smaller movies of Disney would still be moved into Disney Plus, which was released in India just yesterday. The service would be named "Disney+ Hotstar", which is going to be built upon the local streaming service that was acquired from 21st Century Fox last year. Hotstar already has a massive userbase in the country - it would give Disney a massive headstart.

"Black Widow", a prequel movie, is kicking off the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in summer 2020.]]>

Fans of Marvel’s Comic book movie apparently haven’t seen the last of Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark on the big screen. Although the character gave his life in the final part of Marvel’s Avenger, his connection to the MCU and all its members live on. This year, Robert Downey Jr would make yet another appearance during Black Widow’s solo movie. This would probably be just a cameo, as RDJ’s appearance probably cost too much for Marvel to handle.

The guy’s salary is pretty much twenty percent budget of the movies. He earned about 50 million dollars for the first Avenger, 80 million for Age of Ultron, 75+ million for Endgame, 10 million for just a few scenes in Spider-Man Homecoming… According to various rumors, the reason behind Iron Man’s sacrifice in Endgame is because Disney Marvel can’t afford to pay him with his ever-increasing rate anymore.

It is actually pretty weird that the two characters appeared in this movie are already dead in Canon

Black Widow would probably be the last time we get to see those characters on the big screen….until everything is rebooted, which would be years in the future. The movie would be about Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow Natasha Romanoff and her back story. This movie has been on high demand from the fans ever since the first Avenger movie – and it should have been released prior to her heroic ending in Endgame. The events of the movie occur between Captain America: Civil War and Avenger: Infinity War – that is the reason why Tony Stark was able to make a cameo.

Below are some of the most notable details that were revealed in the final trailer of Black Widow:

1 – The red room

Black Widow
All the female assassins in the Red Room

Before becoming an Avenger, Natasha was trained in “the Red Room”, a training/brainwashing facility that creates female assassins/spy or professional killers. She was saved from this organization by Hawkeye, however, quite a mess was left behind when she departs.

In this movie, Black Widow would come back to where everything started and take down the Red Room, along with its leader, Taskmaster, in order to save others from becoming like her.

2 – Taskmaster

It is actually pretty weird that Marvel picked Taskmaster as the villain for Black Widow’s solo movie, as the guy pretty much shared any history with Black Widow or the Red Room itself. Maybe he was selected because of his power level – with Black Widow being just a normal trained person, anything with a strong superpower would be pretty much out of her league.

Copycat power - the guy would have a lot of the ability of the Avengers

Taskmaster’s power is to replicate the fighting style of any character in the Marvel universe, with the power of his photographic memory.

3 – How everything combines together to create a plotline

Red Guardian was the Soviet version of Captain America

It is likely that Taskmaster has taken over the red room for himself to create his private assassin army by imbuing all of them with his power. To take them down, Natasha has to assemble her previous team.

4 – Cameo from Tony Stark and other members of the Avenger

With this movie occurring after CA: Civil War, in which Black Widow was on Tony’s side, his cameo is more or less justified. As Hawkeye was another big part of her backstory, we might get to finally know what “Budapest” was all about.

Black Widow 2020 would be the final movie for Marvel's phase 3 - it is a shame that this was made after the character died in Endgame.]]>

The first and maybe final solo movie of Black Widow has just released its last trailer. Natasha Romanoff played by Scarlett Johansson will get back to her origins – and this time, her mission is to take down a dangerous mercenary who’s recruiting young women to create more combat operators. This would be sort of an origin story for Black Widow – people have been asking Marvel to make a solo movie for her ever since the first Avenger movie. Black Widow 2020 would technically be part of Marvel’s Phase 3, as the events of the movie happen right after Captain America: Civil War.

Natasha/Black Widow is Russian – she was trained as an assassin/spy by a secretive organization known as the Red Room. In a mission, Clint Barton/Hawkeye managed to save and recruit her to SHIELD. Afterward, they joined the Avengers and everything plays out like the movies. Her sacrifice in Endgame for the Soul Stone was partly because of her blood-filled past.

Black Widow's new suit would look slightly different from what she has been wearing

Based on the previous few trailers and the official synopsis of the movie, we can more or less thread together the plot. Natasha would find herself alone and forced to confront her past and deal with the new threat that comes with it.  She would have to reunite with her old team: Alexei Shostakov, aka Red Guardian (David Harbour), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), and Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) – all expertly trained operatives. The main villain of this movie would be Taskmaster, a dangerous villain capable of mimicking the fighting skills of any opponents due to his photographic memory. The guy is also the boss of the Red Room.

This movie is going to be filled with high octane action from beginning to end, however, everything would be about Natasha’s personal journey. Her character would be redefined after the events of Black Widow. This movie should have been made before Infinity War, not after.

Black Widow is going to be released in less than 2 months – on May 1, 2020. For more information related to this movie, please check out this post.

<![CDATA[Another Familiar Face Spotted On The Filming Set Of Black Widow]]> https://gurugamer.com/viral/another-familiar-face-spotted-on-the-filming-set-of-black-widow-6769 Wed, 02 Oct 2019 09:41:47 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/viral/another-familiar-face-spotted-on-the-filming-set-of-black-widow-6769
Black Widow will be the first movie in Phase 4 of the MCU, which will be available in theaters on May 1st, 2020.]]>

Yesterday, another familiar face has been spotted on the filming set of the upcoming Marvel's Black Widow Movie - that is William Hurt - the 69-year-old actor who plays the role of General “Thunderbolt” Ross in the MCU.

When this news was revealed, many have guessed about General Ross' appearance in the movie will be at the post-credits scene, and about the Thunderbolts project.

General “Thunderbolt” Ross is not the only familiar face that we will see on the upcoming Black Widow Movie, as a recent report from Deadline also mentioned that Robert Downey Jr. would return to his iconic role in the upcoming movie. Along with that, rumors of this have been going around for quite some time given how the setting of the movie can open up room for multiple Marvel characters to make cameos and appearances.

Will RDJ actually returns in the upcoming Black Widow movie?

As for Johansson herself, after Black Widow and the MCU, the future was 'wide open' for her. While it seems unlikely that Natasha Romanov will be revived in the future of the MCU - as Johansson has not signed on to any of the MCU-related Disney+ projects and isn't among the confirmed voice cast of the animated What If…? - she was still excited about what's coming, and express her interest in directing new projects. The problem is, according to her, that she hasn't found the right fit for her creative ideal just yet.

Black Widow will be the first movie in Phase 4 of the MCU, which will be available in theaters on May 1st, 2020.

According to recent reports, we might get to see Robert Downey Jr. reprising his iconic role as Iron Man in Black Widow, the first film of MCU phase 4.]]>

Despite being the movie to kick off the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow is actually set right after Captain America: Civil War, before the events of Avengers: Infinity War, meaning it’s basically a prequel instead of a continuation of what we saw in Endgame. And now, we might see Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role as the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist Tony Stark aka Iron Man in the upcoming movie.

We might get to see RDJ's Iron Man again in Black Widow?

A report from Deadline mentioned that Robert Downey Jr. would return to his iconic role in Black Widow, which is set to hit theaters in May 2020. In fact, rumors of this have been going around for quite some time given how the setting of the movie can open up room for multiple Marvel characters to make cameos and appearances, but they have never been more than that – rumors – until now.

That said, another article from Comicbook claims that Downey Jr.'s appearance in Black Widow might just be a recycled footage, just like what we saw in Spider-Man: Far From Home. There’s a high chance that it’ll be a deleted scene from Civil War, during which Tony told Natasha to run, which is why we saw her with Steve Rogers and the other Secret Avengers in Infinity War. So in short, it’ll be a scene that’s already filmed but has never been used before.

Starring Scarlett Johansson as the titular heroine, Black Widow will also feature David Harbour as Red Guardian – who is basically a Russian Captain America, as well as Florence Pugh and Rachel Weisz. The main antagonist will be Taskmaster, a character possessing "photogenic reflexes" that enables him to quickly mimic the fighting style of his opponents just by observing them, making him an incredibly daunting foe to face.

As mentioned, Black Widow is set to release in May 2020.
