The first trailer for Scarlett Johansson's BlackWidow prequel offers plenty of threads to explore for the next phase of the MCU
, it stands to reason the MCU may be moving away from the house-style associated with a number of its films, and land on something a little more distinct from film to film.
A key component of the film looks to be Natasha’s relationship with her “sister,” fellow product of the Red Room, Yelena Belova . In the comics, Yelena began as a villain, Russia’s new Black Widow after Natasha had defected to the U.S. and joined the Avengers. The relationship between the two was largely combative and bloody, though they have become allies in recent years, notably in the current miniseriesby Jody Houser and artist Stephen Mooney.
While we don’t know yet how the film will incorporate flashbacks, Natasha and Yelena’s mission forces them “to go back to where it all started.” Likely, meaning the Red Room. After this line, we see Black Widow jump from a helicopter in a white suit. Natasha wore a suit exactly like this in the pages of by Paul Cornell and artists Tom Raney and John Paul Leon. We also get a glimpse of a dozen or so Black Widows training, either in a flashback or the film’s present.
The last 30 seconds of the trailer introduces us to Alexei Shostakov aka the Red Guardian , Russia’s very own super-soldier. In the comics, this iteration of Red Guardian was Natasha’s ex-husband. In the film, based on the jab at his appearance, it seems he will be the ex of Melina Vostokoff . In the comics Melina goes by Iron Maiden and she’s an assassin and eventual member of the supervillain team, the Thunderbolts.
