Etter den spektakulære Avengers-finalen vi fikk i Endgame er det på tide med en mer personlig historie, om vi skal tro Black Widow-stjernen Scarlett Johansson, som i et Vanity Fair-intervju om høydepunktene i hennes karriere hevder at den ferdiginnspilte actionfilmen blant annet handler om å tilgi seg selv:
"We just wrapped Black Widow like two weeks ago or something like that so it's very fresh in my mind and I don't have the total perspective on it yet. It's a film about self-forgiveness and it's a film about family. I think in life we sort of come of age many times and you have these kind of moments where you're in a transitional phase and then you move sort of beyond it and I think in the Black Widow standalone film I think the character is at, when we find her, a moment of real crisis, and throughout the film, by facing herself in a lot of ways and a lot of things that make her, her, she actually kind of comes through that crisis on the other side and we start to be able to reset where she's a more grounded, self-possessed person. So that's her journey, well, I hope anyway."
Filmen regisseres av Cate Shortland og foruten Johansson kan vi også se stjerner som David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, Rachel Weisz og Florence Pugh. Filmpremieren er planlagt den 1. mai 2020.
