It's been pretty clear for a while now that
Black Widow is on the way from Marvel Studios, but it was made 100% official at Comic-Con on Saturday. Now, a series of cast portraits have been revealed featuring Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O. T. Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz.
It's an impressive ensemble, and while the cast obviously isn't suited up as they'll appear in the movie, these are all really cool photos and are accompanied by some new quotes from the actors.
Harbour talks about playing a "super soldier," while Fagbenle drops some very interesting hints about his apparent love interest for Natasha, who some fans are convinced is actually Taskmaster!
We'll have more from Comic-Con for you later, but for now, check these out by hitting the "View List" button!
"When something huge explodes and all the pieces are landing, you have that moment of stillness where you don’t know what to do next — that’s the moment that she’s in," Scarlett Johansson says.
"In that moment, you actually have to face yourself."
"In a way, he’s a super-soldier, but he’s also a very complicated guy," David Harbour says of Russia's answer to Captain America, Red Guardian.
"He has a lot of flaws, a lot of idiosyncrasies. It’s a very rich character." That beard is pretty damn impressive, eh?
It hasn't been released online but those attending Comic-Con were treated to a fight scene between Black Widow and Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova. However, it sounds like these two have a sister-like relationship and will actually be allies in the movie.
O.T. Fagbenle describes his character Mason as "a fixer" who comes from Natasha's past and may have feelings for her. "It’s a bit of a complex relationship with Natasha because obviously, ostensibly we have this kind of business transaction, but I think there’s a little romantic frisson." The question is, could he be playing Taskmaster? That would certainly be a pretty interesting twist.
Rachel Weisz's is reportedly playing Malena in the movie,
"a seasoned spy and assassin," who has
"been cycled through the Black Widow Red Room [program] five times at this point in her life." She also plays a key role in some sort of experiement in the film.
