The Black Widow Film

Black Widow is the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will launch simultaneously in theatres and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 9, 2021.

We have had a decade worth of Marvel films and television series. But this is the first time since her Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) appearance in Iron Man 2 that we will see her in a titular role. Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Black Widow with Florence Pugh as Yelena, David Harbour as The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz as Melina.
