We got a look at some leaked stills from Marvel's Black Widow earlier today, and now a bunch of additional images from the movie's official tie-in book have been shared online.
Most of these are new behind-the-scènes shots of the main cast members, but we also get an intriguing first look at Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) standing beside O. T. Fagbenle's enigmatic Rick Mason.
Fagbenle's character has been featured in earlier promo material, but this is the first time we've seen him interact with Natasha, and the image would seem to confirm that they will indeed be allies. Of course, this could be taken from a flashback scene!
There's a lot of speculation that Mason will ultimately be unveiled as the villainous Taskmaster, but that still hasn't been confirmed. Fagbenle did admit that a lot of details relating to his character were being kept under wraps for good reason during last year's SDCC, and revealed that he will have a "complex relationship with Natasha Romanoff."
What do you guys think? Is Rick Mason really Taskmaster, or will another character be revealed as the villain in the movie?
"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."
Black Widow also stars David Harbour, Rachel Weisz, William Hurt, Ray Winstone and Olivier Richters.
