After accepting the Generation Award at the MTV Movie & TV Awards tonight, Scarlett Johansson shared the first official clip from Marvel Studios' Black Widow.
The sneak peek features an adrenaline-pumping action scene as "sisters" Natasha Romanoff (Johansson) and Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) take a minute to bond while narrowly evading some baddies.
The clip isn't particularly revealing, but does feature some fun banter between the pair as Yelena proves to be a pain in Nat's side as she pokes holes in her escape plan.
Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome; Lore) directed the long-awaited standalone, and in addition to Johansson and Pugh, the film's ensemble cast will introduce several new characters into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe, including 2x Primetime Emmy-nominee David Harbour (Stranger Things; Hellboy) as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Academy Award-winner Rachel Weisz (The Favourite; The Mummy) as Melina Vostokoff, and O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid's Tale; Maxxx) as Rick Mason.
Black Widow arrives in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access on July 9.
