Black Widow's opening credit scene shows some dark events, but one behind-the-scenes detail makes Natasha's traumatic childhood even more devastating.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Black Widow’s opening credit scene gets even more heartbreaking thanks to an MCU behind-the-scenes detail. Natasha Romanoff’s highly-anticipated solo movie may have been released after her tragic Avengers: Endgame death, but the film was still able to build on a character that had years of history in the MCU.
Black Widow’s opening scene shows Natasha, Yelena, and many other young girls being kidnapped by Dreykov and his men to be taken to the infamous Red Room. Set to a slowed-down cover of Nirvana's “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” the montage shows how the Black Widows had their childhoods stolen from them. Though details of what actually happened in the Red Room are still left vague, the opening does show glimpses of the Widows’ mind control procedure and their infiltration into world events.
Release Date July 9, 2021 Director Cate Shortland Cast Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, Olga Kurylenko, William Hurt, Ray Winstone, Rachel Weisz In the official Marvel Studios book Black Widow: The Art Of The Movie, various behind-the-scenes details are shared about the film’s production. It’s mentioned that screenwriter Eric Pearson states that Natasha’s devastating childhood is “something he posits that not even Nick Fury knew about.
Considering the nature of the events shown in Black Widow’s opening scene, it would be a huge weight for even an Avenger to keep to themselves. Being taken to the Red Room redefined Natasha’s whole childhood, and although it turned her into the hero the MCU knows, it’s a fate that no one would wish on anyone, let alone a child. Knowing that it’s a portion of her life that Natasha potentially kept secret from even her closest allies makes Black Widow’s burden even heavier.
Why Black Widow Not Talking About Her Origin Story Makes Her Ending Even Sadder Black Widow’s death is one of the saddest in the MCU, not just because she was such a beloved Avenger but because of how valiant her sacrifice truly was. It was bittersweet to see the struggle between her and Hawkeye, but Natasha’s sacrifice ultimately made sense for her character. A factor in her choice had to have been wanting Clint to go back to his family and young children.
