We recently
found out that
Fighting With My Family actress Florence Pugh had joined the cast of Marvel's solo
Black Widow movie, and now
THR reports that
Stranger Things alum David Harbour is also on board.
Details on his character are being kept under wraps, but some
recent breakdowns did mention an "older male contemporary" of Natasha Romanov's, so there's a decent chance that's who Harbour is playing.
Specific plot details are also under lock and key, but Marvel has provided a vague synopsis which does seem to confirm that the movie will be a prequel set before the events of the first
Avengers movie.
Black Widow is being developed as
"an internationally-set story centering on Natasha Romanoff, a spy and assassin who grew up being trained by the KGB before breaking from their grasp and becoming an agent of SHIELD and Avenger."
Harbour can next be seen under a mountain of prosthetics as
Hellboy in Legendary's reboot, which hits theaters in April 12.
Black Widow has not yet been given an official release date, but it's scheduled to begin shooting very soon.
