'Black Widow' Trailer Gives Scarlett Johansson Her Superhero Close-Up

The Black Widow teaser trailer dropped on Tuesday (watch it below), alternating slam-bang action with bits of reflection from Scarlett Johansson s Marvel superhero.

I used to have nothing but then I got this job, this family, she says in a voiceover after peering into the mirror. But nothing lasts forever.

Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanoff, fights impressively with Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) before their guns-and-knives battle takes a sisterly turn to target unfinished business. The film, scheduled for release in May, takes place between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. That explains why Black Widow is around to kick butt at all, given that she sacrificed herself in Avengers: Endgame.

David Harbour of Stranger Things looks appealingly kooky in the preview as Red Guardian Alexei Shostakov. He endures fat-shaming from Rachel Weiszs Melina Vostokoff and a smile of agreement from Natasha.
