‘Black Widow’ Is Back In New Total Film Magazine Covers To Remind You It’s Coming Out In November
Black Widowis back, baby! Oh, did you forget that this Marvel movie was waiting in the wings for us in November? Don’t worry, so did the rest of the world, which has dramatically changed sinceBlack Widowwas the next most-hyped Marvel Studios film. But a new cover from Total Film will remind you that it’s still set to be released in theaters this November…for now.
Total Film Magazine debuted newBlack Widowimages in its issue dedicated to the upcoming Marvel Studios film starringScarlett Johanssonas the Avengers' resident super-spy. Johansson dominates the cover as Natasha Romanoff, wielding her signature batons, flanked byFlorence Pughas fellow spy Yelena Belova,Rachel Weiszas seasoned Black Widow trainer Melina Vostokoff, andDavid Harbouras Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian. In a cheeky nod to the title, the stars are all shown in a monochromatic hue, with only splashes of red — the latter a reference to Black Widow’s ties to Mother Russia.
Disney has been so quiet onBlack Widow’s upcoming release, that you might almost forget it’s still scheduled for November, despite the current state of the pandemic suggesting that theaters won’t nearly be ready to fully reopen by then. But it’s not just Disney’s relative lack of updates on this movie that makes it feel forgettable, it’s that the window for aBlack Widowmovie has arguably long passed. Fans had been demanding a solo film forBlack Widowsince Johansson strapped on that jumpsuit back in 2010’sIron Man 2, but with nearly a decade passing since her introduction to the MCU and with the character meeting her end in last year’sAvengers: Endgame, it feels like the moment has passed.
Directed byCate Shortlandfrom a script byEric Pearson,Black Widowhits theaters onNovember 6, 2020(for now).
At birth the Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanova) is given to the KGB, which grooms her to become its ultimate operative. When the U.S.S.R. breaks up, the government tries to kill her as the action moves to present-day New York, where she is a freelance operative.
