The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2021 - Issue 29

bitefilms Giedre Jackyte takes a look at some of the latest films coming soon to the big screen. As seen in the film’s final teaser trailer, it will take us on a journey to some pure Russian action alongside Johans- son, like car chases and houses exploding. O.T. Fagbenle is Rick Mason, an old ally and potential love interest of Romanoff. Rachel Weisz plays Melina Vostokoff, aka super-assassin Iron Maiden, alongside other fierce widows Yolanda Lynes, Ione Butler, Simona Zivkovska and ShainaWest, which we can see from the trailer will have no mercy on Romanoff. Natasha confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.The teaser takes us down memory lane through Black Widow’s MCU (Marvin Cinematic Universe) appearances in the likes of the first Avengers and Captain America:TheWinter Soldier. We see nothing from Infinity War or Endgame , perhaps lending credence to reports that this one is at least partly set in the gap between Civil War and Infinity War. Either way, the beloved BlackWidow looks paranoid in European train stations, clutching handfuls of ID cards and engaging in punchy fight scenes in battered-up apartments, the latter of which brings in Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, who Romanoff calls ‘sis’. From there, there’s talk of ‘unfinished business’ and going ‘back to where it all started’ – hinting that we may see exactly what kind of ‘red’ was on BlackWidow’s ledger that she was so keen to scrub off. Bring on the 9th of July so that we can finally get to see ‘unfinished business’ in BlackWidow style. Released Date: 9th July 2021 www.marvel.com/movies/black-widow
