Empire has shared a new official still from Marvel's Black Widow, giving us another look at Natasha Romanoff's (Scarlett Johansson) tense face-off with Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh).
We know from the trailers that these two trade blows during this scene, but we assume they will put their differences aside once they get it out of their system.
Although Belova's role in the MCU moving forward has yet to be confirmed, the prevailing theory is that Natasha's fellow Red Room assassin will ultimately wind up taking on the Black Widow mantle following her "sister's" death in Endgame. The fact that Pugh has been confirmed to reprise the role for the Disney+ Hawkeye series would seem to back this up.
Back in March, Disney officially announced that Black Widow would debut on Disney+ Premier Access at the same time it hits theaters. The Cate Shortland-directed prequel was set for a theatrical release on May 7 before being pushed back to July 9, and will now be made available to Disney+ subscribers for an extra $30.
Black Widow finds Natasha Romanoff "confronting 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. Joining Johansson in the new feature film are Florence Pugh as Yelena, David Harbour as Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz as Melina."
