Black Widow (2020) Trailer 2 Review

Black Widow (2020) Trailer 2 Review

 Boy this was a week for new Comic Book Movie Trailers and Marvel Studios have just released hopefully the last trailer for their upcoming film Black Widow and this is what I noticed. 

This film seems to mostly takes place after Captain America: Civil War and before Avengers: Infinity War

Originally many people thought that this film would look at Natasha Romaoff's time becoming Black Widow, but it seems that the majority of the film will take place in a more modern setting set between the two films mentioned above. This is interesting as it shows Widow on the run from the US Government due to her actions in Civil War which adds another wrinkle to the film.

David Harbour could steal the show as Red Guardian

So far in the two trailers David Harbour's performance as the Red Guardian has interested me the most as he seems to be having plenty of fun in the role and throws down in the action scenes. He is a great actor and it is great to see him in this film.

Taskmaster's costume is much better in this trailer

My biggest complaint with the first trailer was how bland Taskmaster's costume looked but it is much better in this trailer, it looks much more intimidating and comic accurate, it does bring up the question though does he have multiple costumes in the film and why do they change.

Taskmaster might have fought previous Avengers

In the comics, one of Taskmaster's abilities is that he can copy any action against enemies he comes across, in the first trailer he is seen using a bow and arrow and in this trailer he is seen throwing a shield at Widow. This might mean that he has encountered and fought Hawkeye and Captain America before off screen, which is interesting and adds another dimension to the character.

A Sacrifice will probably be made

Florence Pugh plays Scarlett Johansson's closest friend in this film but the trailer shows she is wearing the same jacket that Johansson is seen wearing in Avengers: Infinty War. This could mean that Pugh sacrifices herself and Widow takes her jacket and changes her hair to blonde to honour her which would add more depth to her change of appearance in Infinity War.

 Overall

It has been long overdue for Black Widow to get her own solo movie and I for one am really excited for the movie as it is one of my most anticipated films of the year.

Black Widow is set to be released on May 1st 2020
