Marvel offered fans a special look into the movie “Black Widow”, which is set to hit the theatres on May 1st.

It offered the public a new glimpse at everyone’s favorite crimson-haired agent, who has 'unfinished business' to attend to.

The black Widow is a prequel set in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, in particular, taking place in the two-year gap between “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War“.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanova, who died heroicly in Avengers: Endgame.

The highly-anticipated movie also features David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle and Rachel Weisz, and directed by Cate Shortland.

It also gives the public a new glimpse at Romanova’s new foe, Taskmaster, a villain who can instantly copy his opponent’s skills.

Johansson has already portrayed the character in previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films, such as “Iron Man 2” (2010), “The Avengers” (2012), “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), “Captain Marvel” (2019), and “Avengers: Endgame” (2019).

Speaking about the role, Johansson said: ‘I get to play Natasha as a fully realised woman and in all of her many facets. I’m excited for fans to see the flawed side of her, what she perceives to be the flawed side of her, and I’m looking to wipe out some of that red in my ledger so you guys will be seeing more of that.’

Black Widow is set to kick Marvel’s Phase Four off strongly with a prequel all about the spy.

Marvel’s Phase Four list also includes, “The Eternals”, “Thor: Love and Thunder”, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.

“Thor: Love and Thunder” is set to be released on Nov. 5, 2021. It’s the fourth in the series, starring Chris Hemsworth, with Taika Waititi on for writing and directing.

Thor’s former on-screen love interest Natalie Portman will play Lady Thor, the female version of the Norse God of Thunder.
