Black Widow: Marvel Studios Releases Brand-new Special Look & Featurette

The Dead Speak!

We’re only a few months away from Black Widow arrives in theatres, and Marvel Studios is making sure we don’t forget it. Marvel just dropped a special look and a featurette video that are guaranteed to make MCU fans even more excited for the upcoming spy thriller.

The special look video has a lot of overlap with Black Widow’s previous trailer, but it does reveal some brand-new footage.

The Black Widow featurette features Scarlett Johansson and the movie’s director, Cate Shortland, discussing the film. Johansson talks about the significance of playing the same movie character for nearly a decade.

The Marvel Studios bigwigs talked about releasing a standalone Black Widow movie for years, and it’s a shame that it only happened after the character completed her tragic arc in Avengers: Endgame. That being said, knowing Natasha’s fate doesn’t hinder the stakes in her upcoming movie.

The highest form of stakes in a movie isn’t life and death, it’s emotional stakes. Watching a beloved character get pummelled emotionally hurts way more than any physical beating. Stories are emotional journeys, and seeing characters suffer emotional trauma always stings, even when it’s in a prequel film.

Aside from that, who doesn’t enjoy re-watching a great film? You can sit down and enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy over and over even though you know how it plays out. Unless you go all Memento and forget you’ve watched a flick before, there aren’t any life and death stakes in a second viewing. The beauty of Guardians comes from experiencing a group of lovable goofs slowly become a family, not watching them battle Ronan The Accuser. Right?

Black Widow looks like another gripping addition to the MCU, and I can’t wait to spend more time with an Avenger OG. Spoilers be damned.
