On the heels of a new "special look" at Black Widow, Marvel has released an updated synopsis for Natasha's long-awaited solo adventure.

Unlike last night's new Eternals logline, this doesn't really reveal any new details about the plot, but it does confirm that Scarlett Johansson's former assassin will be forced to confront the "red in her ledger" as she deals with some sort of conspiracy with ties to her past. It also sounds like the "force" pursuing her (Taskmaster, presumably) may have personal reasons for wanting to take her out.

"In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, “Black Widow”—the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—hits U.S. theaters on May 1, 2020." --Marvel Studios."

Black Widow also stars O-T Fagbenle, William Hurt, Ray Winstone and Olivier Richters. The movie hits theaters on May 1st. Check out the extended teaser below, and let us know if you're looking forward to the movie in the comments.

@WakandanQueen - I REALLY hope they don't change the lighting or color grading in this scene. It's really popping with how it looks now and I know sometimes Marvel does a ton in post that doesn't always end up being better

@EmpressCipher - he really does actually seem creepy here. The lighting, the shots all work in service really well of conveying that.

Hope to god they don;t alter this in post.

@WakandanQueen - Can we talk about the fact that the shot of him swinging is not only a wide, single and steady shot but also a practical stunt?

Can Marvel just do that more often?

Please don’t have taskmaster be a one off

@Schme83 - And please don't have Taskmaster be an already existing character just to pull of a cheap twist-reveal

I still think this movie, while well deserved, is just coming out at the wrong time. The stakes are wack, because we already know she's gonna live... Until she dies more than a few years later.

Like, since this takes place after CW, they should've released this movie in the mid to end summer of 2016.

@KWilly - I think the key there is to ask yourself what stakes can a movie have beyond "will the main character die or not" and then see if the movie manages to answer that question well.

@KWilly - We don't know what happens anyone else in the movie though.

I really look forward to Taskmaster. Think it would be really cool if Melina is revealed to be Taskmaster and that in a future movie Taskmaster return, but it's just someone else behind the mask.

Slightly off-topic: probably a major nitpick, but I really think ''red in her ledger'' sounds so dumb (just like Justice League ''ready to do battle'' line).

Even more off-topic: anybody else who saw 1917 thinks MacKay would be a great Captain Britain?
