Black Widow is a Marvel Comics superhero film that will be released in 2021 in the United States. The 24th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (MCU).
Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, Olga Kurylenko, William Hurt, Ray Winstone and Rachel Weisz all star in the film directed by Cate Shortland, which was written by Eric Pearson and starred in the role of Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow alongside Florence Pugh, David Harbour and other actors. Captain America: Civil War sequel finds Romanoff on the run from her history and compelled to confront it.
Lionsgate began working on a Black Widow picture with David Hayter set to write and direct in April 2004, when the film was still in development. By June 2006, the cinematic rights to the character were reverted to Marvel Studios. A solo movie was discussed with Marvel after Johansson was cast in the role for multiple MCU films beginning with Iron Man 2 (2010).
As of late 2017, Shortland has been hired as the project’s lead. Before Pearson was hired, Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson worked on the script. It lasted from May to October 2019 in locations including Norway, Budapest, Morocco, Pinewood Studios in England, and the Georgia cities of Atlanta (Macon), Macon, and Rome.
June 29, 2021 was the global premiere of Black Widow, which was released simultaneously in cinemas and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 9, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic forced three reschedules of the film’s intended May 2020 release date. It is the first film of the MCU’s Phase Four.
A number of pandemic box office records were broken by Black Widow, which raked in more than $379 million worldwide. In general, critics were pleased with the picture, particularly the performances of Johansson and Pugh and the action sequences. After suing Disney in July of that year over the simultaneous release, Scarlett Johansson agreed to a settlement two months later.

Showtimes Storyline for Black Widow-
In 1995, super soldier Alexei Shostakov and Black Widow Melina Vostokoff work as Russian undercover agents, posing as a family in Ohio with Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova as their daughters. General Dreykov has Romanoff and Belova taken to the Red Room for training by General Dreykov after they steal S.H.I.E.L.D. intel.
Years pass, during which Shostakov is imprisoned in Russia while Romanoff defects to S.H.I.E.L.D. after bombing Dreykov’s Budapest office and apparently killing him and his young daughter Antonia.
A fugitive for breaking the Sokovia Accords, Romanoff is now on the run in 2016.
Rick Mason provides her with a safe home in Norway, where she escapes from Thaddeus Ross. Meanwhile, Belova kills a rogue former Black Widow but comes in contact with a synthetic gas that neutralizes the Red Room’s chemical mind-control agent. Antidotes are sent by Belova to Romanoff, hoping the Avengers can help release more Widows.
Taskmaster, a Red Room agent, confronts Romanoff as she drives with the vials in her car. Romanoff escapes from Taskmaster and realizes that the vials came from Budapest. There she finds Belova who reveals that Dreykov is alive and the Red Room is still active. Black Widows and Taskmaster attack them, but Romanoff and Belova evade them and meet with Mason, who supplies them with a helicopter.
Romanoff and Belova break Shostakov out of prison to learn Dreykov’s location, and he directs them to Vostokoff who lives on a farm outside Saint Petersburg. There she is refining the chemical mind control process used on the Widows. Vostokoff alerts Dreykov and his agents arrive to take them, but Romanoff convinces Vostokoff to help them and the pair use face mask technology to switch places.
At the Red Room, an aerial facility, Vostokoff frees Shostakov and Belova from their restraints. Dreykov sees through Romanoff’s disguise and reveals that Taskmaster is Antonia, who suffered damage severe enough that Dreykov had to put technology in her head to save her, in turn creating the perfect soldier, capable of mimicking the actions of anyone she sees.
Romanoff is unable to attack Dreykov due to a pheromone lock installed in every Widow, but negates that by breaking her own nose and severing a nerve in her nasal passage. Shostakov battles Taskmaster while Vostokoff takes out one of the facility’s engines. They then lock Taskmaster in a cell.
Dreykov escapes as other Black Widows attack Romanoff, but Belova exposes them to the antidote. Romanoff copies the locations of other Widows worldwide from Dreykov’s computer as the facility begins to explode and fall. She retrieves two surviving antidote vials and frees Taskmaster from the locked cell. Vostokoff and Shostakov escape via a plane while Belova takes out Dreykov’s aircraft, killing him. In freefall, Romanoff gives Belova a parachute before battling Taskmaster.
After landing, Romanoff uses one antidote vial on Taskmaster and gives the other to Belova along with the locations of the other mind-controlled Widows so she can find and free them. Belova, Vostokoff, and Shostakov say goodbye to Romanoff and leave with Antonia and the freed Widows. Two weeks later, Mason supplies Romanoff with a Quinjet to use in freeing the imprisoned Avengers.
In a post-credits scene set after Romanoff’s death,[c] Valentina Allegra de Fontaine blames her death on Clint Barton and assigns him as Belova’s next target.
