Florence Pugh shared new details on themes of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow.
Marvel Studios’ next phase kicks-off with Black Widow, a film centered on Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff before her heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. Based on the trailer, Black Widow will offer fans more insight into the past of Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff, including her history with Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova.
During an interview with IndieWire, Florence Pugh discussed working with director Cate Shortland on Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. According to Florence Pugh, Shortland worked to ensure the story centered on the emotional core of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and discussed why she’s excited for young women to see the film:
“Cate was so good at being so vigilant about keeping this story raw and painful. It’s about emotions, and it’s about these broken girls trying to come back together again, and trying to fix something that happened. It’s about fixing yourself, and how you do that. As an idea for a Marvel film, and as a young woman, it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, this is amazing.’ Young women are going to see this, and they’re going to watch Scarlett in her element, and they’re going to watch this storyline, and that’s only a positive thing.”
Response to the Black Widow trailer has been largely positive and Florence Pugh admitted she was relieved by the first preview. As Florence Pugh explained, it can be difficult to get a sense of what a film will look like during production:
“As an actor, when you make a film, people can say what it’s going to look like, but until you see it, you have no idea if people are trying to create something else. When I watched just the fighting, the way that it’s so gritty, it’s so a Bourne movie, Jason Bourne! Watching it was cool, and I did like a little fist pump. I got to watch the Black Widow herself in action.”

Full plot details on Marvel Studios’ Black Widow are currently under wraps, though it has been revealed that the film is set after the events of Captain America: Civil War and will see Scarlett Johansson’s Nathasha Romanoff take on the villainous Taskmaster. The film will also mark the Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of Yelena Belova, the second modern-era character to use the Black Widow title in the comics.
Directed by Cate Shortland from a script written by Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson, Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, Ray Winstone, Olivier Richters, and Rachel Weisz.
