Black Widow has had a long, hard journey into the light. And, to be clear, we’re not just talking about Natasha Romanoff, former assassin turned super-spy extraordinaire. The Black Widow movie might not have been raised in a weird Russian murder academy, but it’s still had a damn hard time of it, to the point that, when Disney released a new trailer for the movie early this morning, it marked more than a year since the last time the company released an official “final” trailer for the film, amid the early days of the COVID-19 shutdowns.

But here we are, with a whole bunch of new footage to dig into, exploring the relationships between Scarlett Johansson’s Nat, her little sister/rival Widow Yelena (Florence Pugh), and David Harbour’s big, burly Red Guardian. We also get some callforwards to that scene from Avengers: Endgame, some footage of faceless weirdo Taskmaster in action, and a sting of the Avengers theme that, despite our best efforts, still undeniably sent a bit of a chill down our spines. (Also, is it just us, or does that “You’re such a mom” line hit especially strange in light of how Joss Whedon handled Natasha’s character in Age Of Ultron? Just saying.)
