    • Trivia
      According to writer Eric Pearson, Florence Pugh teased Scarlett Johansson about Black Widow's iconic pose during filming, so Pearson put it in the film.
    • Goofs
      The bulk of the movie takes place immediately after Captain America: Civil War (2016), which takes place after Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Tony Stark, who is established to be incredibly paranoid about alien invasion, has satellites in space, and invents futuristic technology, doesn't detect the Red Room, a flying base the size of several skyscrapers taped together. Neither does S.H.I.E.L.D., or any government that regularly looks for alien or even terrestrial unknown craft in the sky.

      Yelena Belova: [about Natasha] Such a poser.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a scene after the the closing credits: Yelena Belova visits Natasha's grave, and is approached by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Valentina gives Yelena a mission to target the man she tells her is responsible for her sister's death: Clint Barton. This sets up Hawkeye (2021).

    Just a spy movie, with the TaskMaster & Red Guardian wasted
    This was just a knock-off Bourne or James Bond movie, with the Black Widow and her family of spies as the stars. The action scenes in the dark rooms were really bad, because all the characters are dressed in similar black uniforms, so I had no idea who was doing what most of the time. I guess this was all CGI? It was impossible to follow.

    Black Widow is not very interesting, and most of the best lines come from her sister (Florence Pugh), and her father, the Red Guardian (David Harbour). The comic book version of Red Guardian was totally tough super-soldier, but in the movie he is just a fat has-been, like Thor in the last Avengers Endgame movie. Harbour is mostly around for comedy, but he is a good actor, and makes his role interesting.

    Rachel Weisz plays the Black Widow's mother, and it is a pretty generic performance. The story is really odd, as Weisz is the brains of the Russian spy system but she is on a farm doing brain control experiments on pigs.

    The main Russian spy master was a very generic Russian character talking about world domination and power. He could have been from SPECTRE. The guy reminded me of Blofeld, and several other SPECTRE leaders from past James Bond movies.

    TaskMaster was a very unique and interesting character in the comic books, and he is totally destroyed as a character in this movie. His entire back-story, character, and everything about TaskMaster is changed, and not for the better.

    This movie takes place after Captain America: Civil War, and before the Avengers versus Thanos movies. It seems like this movie should have been done and released about five years ago, and it is out of place in the current Marvel Timeline.

    FAQ6

    • Will Hawkeye be in this film?
    • Who is the villain?
    • How come we never got to know about the Red Guardian? Is he a super soldier like Captain America as well? If he is also a super soldier then why didn't we learn anything about him in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier?
