After several delays,Black Widowis finally only a month away, but that hasn’t stopped Marvel Studios from dropping a brand new clip from the highly-anticipated prequel.David Harbourmade an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Livethis weekto showcase a brief sneak peek of the film that puts his character, Alexei Shostakov, at center stage alongside familiar faces.
The scene has the Russian dust off and put on his Red Guardian superhero suit, which still fits, much to his surprise. He then joins his “family” made up ofScarlet Johansson’s Natasha,Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, andRachel Weisz’s Melina Vostokoff for supper. While both Alexei and Melina are clearly enjoying the reunion, Yelena is embarrassed by what she is witnessing, and Natasha appears to be indifferent to it all. But that doesn’t stop Harbour from declaring that their makeshift family is “back together again.”

Despite being a short clip, the unique dynamic between the characters leaks marvelously through the scene. While much of the story remains a mystery, it’s clear these cast of characters have a history together that was long forgotten.Black Widowwill be righting a wrong by giving Natasha the spotlight she’s deserved for so long, but the story will also introduce important characters along the way. It’s speculated that Pugh’s Yelena could be the successor to the Black Widow mantle and appear in the MCU again sooner rather than later in the Disney+ seriesHawkeye.
In addition to Natasha’s family, the film starsO-T FagbenleandWilliam Hurt.Cate ShortlanddirectsBlack Widowfrom a story byJac Schaeffer(WandaVision) andNed Benson(The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby), and a screenplay written byEric Pearson(Thor: Ragnarok).
