With MCU TV shows Loki and WandaVision garnering much traction since its release, it’s simple to understand the reason for Disney to add in the spy thriller (with a mix of family reunion) to the MCU catalog.
While Black Widow is the first solo for Scarlett who plays an assassin- Natasha Romanova, Florence Pugh her younger sister tries to fill in the void spaces. Not to forget, David Harbour who was seen as a ‘burly sherrif’ in Stranger Things now swipes in as a humourous father figure cum superhero. Cate Shortland directed Marvel movie has a lot of mixed elements to watch out for, from the opening flashback, character narratives, spy-on-spy action, to Bond-like adventure in this spy thriller cosmic. While early critics have stated the new female lead MCU movie to be different from the MCU collection, Black Widow makes it the MCU’s 22nd “Certified Fresh” film, with Rotten Tomatoes score stands at 80 percent. That said, we would want to rest the case in our readers’ hands. Do share your thoughts on the very first female Avenger spy thriller in the comments.
