New Black Widow Trailer Offers a Glimpse of the Movie’s Villain

Scarlett Johansson’s week is off to a busy start. After receiving two Oscar nominations on Monday, the trailer for the Johansson-starring Marvel movie Black Widow dropped later that night. The trailer also features Florence Pugh, David Harbor and Rachel Weisz as Black Widow’s estranged family, with somewhat-convincing Russian accents.

The film takes place between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Specifically, Black Widow is supposed to examine the superheroine’s origins, including her somewhat dysfunctional relationship with her family and the program that trained her in combat.

Also introduced is the main villain of the film, known as The Taskmaster. He seamlessly mirrors Black Widow’s movements, making him a particularly tricky nemesis to get ahead of.
