Black Widow was released back in 2021 and it starred Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff, alongside Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova. It served as an origin story for Black Widow, as fans wanted to know more about her past.

Unfortunately, the film was outright rejected by fans and critics alike. The Hindustan Times dubbed it the worst film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even Forbes spared it no mercy, as it dragged the film for being too long and boring and far too reliant on the MCU formula.

Brie and I already had an established relationship going into The Marvels. Our entire cast — me, Nia DaCosta, Brie, Teyonah, and Lashana Lynch — we all went to go see Black Widow together right before we started filming the show at an actual movie theater. It was just the five of us in the theater. The Marvel Studios logo started playing, and we all started cheering. It was the cutest, most wholesome thing ever. Neither of them talked to me like I was a child. They respected and valued my opinion. It was nice to be heard, honestly.”
