With little more than one month until we finally get to watchBlack Widow, Disney is ramping up the marketing campaign of the movie who’ll take the MCU back to theaters. Together with a special appearance ofRachel WeiszonJimmy Kimmel Livethis week, we got to see a new clip from the upcoming movie that changes what we thought we knew about Natasha Romanoff’s (Scarlett Johansson) “family”.
The new clip follows the latest scene revealed onJimmy Kimmel Live, during an appearance fromDavid Harbour, who’s set to play the soviet superhero Red Guardian. Harbour’s scene showed Red Guardian joining the movie’s three female spies (Johansson, Weisz, andFlorence Pugh) for supper. The Red Guardian seems to be happy about what he calls a “family reunion”. The new clip shows Melina Vostokoff’s (Weisz) immediate reaction to Harbour’s arrival.

In the new clip, Melina says that the “family construct” was a cover that lasted three years, and since this cover was already blown, there’s no reason to keep using the term. It seems like Natasha’s “family” is actually a group of coworkers who pretended to be related in order to spy on someone, somewhere. That doesn’t change the fact that the Red Guardian and Melina enjoy their time together pretending to be a couple, as the scene shows there are still some sparks between the two of them.
Natasha’s long-overdue solo adventure takes place betweenCaptain America: Civil WarandAvengers: Infinity War, leading the heroine to confront her past and bring down the evil organization that builds female assassins such as herself.Black Widowis directed byCate Shortlandfrom a story byJac Schaeffer(WandaVision) andNed Benson(The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby), and a screenplay written byEric Pearson(Thor: Ragnarok).
