Black Widow was finally made official at Comic-Con last night and we now know that it will arrive in theaters next May. As well as confirming that David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz are all attached to star, we also learned that the spinoff will be set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. 
 
Harbour is going to be taking on the role of Red Guardian, a character who sounds like the Russian version of Captain America. Taskmaster, meanwhile, will indeed be the lead villain, while Pugh is set to play Yelena Belova who has a sister-like relationship with Natasha by the sounds of things.

Black Widow is also going to delve into the character's past and Budapest will be a key setting.

"In this film we get to understand her past and put the pieces of herself together and come out a whole person," director Cate Shortland told fans before Scarlett Johansson added: "I get to play Natahsa as a fully realized 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."

As for that footage description, we see Natasha meet with Yelena Belova in a standoff and it's clear that they've both been trained by the same people. It reportedly feels a lot like Captain America: The Winter Soldier in terms of action and the fight between these two sounds amazing. 

Natasha refers to Yelena as "sis" and after a number of action shots like car and motorbike chases, we see Black Widow emerging from the wreckage of a car crash and as she fires at a masked man heading towards her, he holds up a shield and blocks the bullets; it's not clear whether this is Red Guardian or Taskmaster but a battle then begins as the footage winds to a close.

So, sounds pretty good for a movie many deemed "pointless," right? More details should be revealed soon and a trailer landing before the end of the year is pretty much a certainty. Black Widow has only actually been shooting for a month so it's obviously still early days for the movie.

@KingCipher - Another description said the fighter moved very similarly to Natasha.

That definitely sounds like Tasky's thing.

Very excited!

One description said it’s like Killing Eve meets Mission Impossible style wise, with a CA: TWS intensity.

Screen Junkies said there was a quick shot of DOZENS of girls, a small army, in Black Widow uniforms lined up.

@KingCipher - Killing Eve is my favorite show and the best show on tv.

@Manmarvel - no problem! I'm sure the kids can fend for themselves and just tell your boss you're taking an extended lunch break. Hopefully he won't notice until you get back.

Man I’m actually pretty damn excited. Can someone explain to me how Marvel seems to always know what I want? Don’t forget we are still getting Beta Ray Bill in Thor 4 and Adam Warlock in Guardians 3. Black Widow with Taskmaster in it is going to be sick. Blade is going to be sick. Dr Strange sounds like utter madness (i know). I’m EXCITE!!!!

That fight scene description between Nat and Yelena sounded GRITTY AS HELL. Cate Shortland seems to have done a very good job.

@KingCipher - I think I read their relationship is sisterly.

That "sister" relationship should've been established before or during Endgame. But if they could throw in a flashforward scene of Yelena mourning Natasha's death, and taking over as the new Black Widow, then that would be a satisfying send-off/continuation.

I lost a lot of interest when they announced Thor Love and Thunder. Toward the bottom somewhere now. It will have be areally good movie but that won't happen until its released and critics are raving about it.

DoubleD - 7/21/2019, 5:58 AM
@KingCipher - What movie are you most excited to see and least ? See how that works :)

@KingCipher - As CBM has posted daily there also called a "Favorites List." Which I've seen yours many of times.

@DoubleD - I understand where you're coming from, I have reservations too, same reservations I had about Ragnarok right up until I saw it. I do have faith in Taika now, but Natalie Portman as Thor? that is more cringe-worthy than Gwenyth Paltrow in armor...

@gulducati - What's so cringey about Natalie Portman as Thor? She's a great actress and it's a given her This won't be written like Hemsworth Thor. Also Gwenyth Paltrow in armor was awesome.

Red Guardian, Natasha's ex-husband, and proof that she had a sex life. Nice!👍

Looking forward to this. Hopefully we at least get a teaser trailer at D23

With Weisz being Iron Maiden and Harbour being Red Guardian, I'm curious to know if they and Yelena are all part of a Russian Avengers team or if they are all working separately. Also interested in knowing if Taskmaster is going to be the big bad or moreso the merc who serves the big bad.

Could be interesting depending on who survives, which I hope ends up at the last being Yelena and Task, since she can become an Avenger and he can become a Thunderbolt
