Another trading card from Topps'
Black Widow tie-in set has been revealed, and this one provides us with a new look at Scarlett Johansson as The Fallen Avenger, Natasha Romanoff.
Although this movie has been confirmed to be a prequel (Widow met her maker in
Avengers: Endgame, after all), there's a lot of speculation that at least part of the story will play out post-
Endgame. Romanoff is not expected to be resurrected, but many believe that Florence Pugh's character Yelena Belova may end up taking over the Black Widow mantle.
That remains to be seen, of course, but we do fully expect Cate Shortland's film to serve as a fitting sendoff for the character one way or the other.
Check out the card below along with the previously released ones and let us know what you think.

Natasha Romanoff
Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, for what will almost certainly be the last time. The character can be seen here in her new costume, batons at the ready.
Yelena Belova
Florence Pugh will play Belova in Marvel's first (and most likely only) solo
Black Widow movie. She has previously gained acclaim for her performances in the likes of WWE wrestling biopic
Fighting With My Family and Ari Aster's
Midsommar.
Taskmaster
We still know very little about Taskmaster or how he'll factor into the plot. It's believed that O-T Fagbenle will play him, but that has yet to be confirmed and could simply be misdirection. One outlandish theory claims that it might be Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton under the mask, but that seems more like wishful thinking to us
