It's been a long wait for Scarlett Johansson's solo Black Widow film, which was originally slated to be released back on May 1st of 2020 until theaters were forced to close their doors amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only is it Natasha Romanoff's solo debut, the upcoming Black Widow film is the first movie in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Thankfully, things are looking up as theaters begin to reopen, and the movie is set for release next month (July 9th).
IMAX announced today that those who see Black Widow on IMAX screens will be treated to 22 minutes of select scenes in the exclusive expanded aspect ratio! The massive IMAX screen at 1.90:1 aspect ratio will show up to 26% more of the image. This expanded aspect ratio also allows for a more immersive experience because it fills more of the viewer's peripheral vision.
IMAX was kind enough to provide an image displaying exactly how much more movie-goers can look forward to!
In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow 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. Joining Johansson in the new feature film are Florence Pugh as Yelena, David Harbour as Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz as Melina. “Black Widow”—the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—is directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige.

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
