We recently found out that Black Widow had been pushed back from its original release date due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and while we have been assured that the Cate Shortland-directed film will hit theaters at some point, we haven't been given any indication of when that might be.
For now, marketing and promotion for the movie continues, and we have some new quotes from star Scarlett Johansson from her recent interview with Total Film.
We have previously heard that Black Widow will focus on the family dynamic between Natasha Romanoff and her former Red Room associates, but here the Academy Award-nominated actress teases a shift in tone from the type of movies we're used to seeing in the MCU.
“I think part of Kevin Feige’s genius is that he always thinks about what fans expect out of these films and then gives them something that they never could’ve dreamed of,” says Johansson. “The idea of Natasha Romanoff in a family drama is the least expected thing, and I had to wrap my head around what that was going to be because there’s such a big tonal shift.”
The action-heavy trailers for the movie haven't really reflected this, but we look forward to discovering Black Widow's secrets when it does eventually find its way to the big screen.
