Marvel’s highly anticipated film, Black Widow, aims to address significant issues within the superhero genre. The movie explores themes of abuse, trauma, and identity, delving into the dark side of Natasha Romanoff’s past. Directed by Cate Shortland, the film takes a more realistic and grounded approach, emphasizing the emotional struggles and complexities of its characters. With a talented cast led by Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow promises to provide a deeper understanding of Natasha’s backstory and her journey towards redemption. This installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe promises to bring a fresh perspective and tackle serious topics with depth and sensitivity..
In an interview with Total Film, Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova, discusses Black Widow’s narrative, and how “one of the most interesting things about the film is how far [director] Cate [Shortland] went with it”. She said: “This film is about the abuse of women. It’s about how they get involuntary hysterectomies by the age of eight. It’s about girls who are stolen from around the world. It’s so painful, and it’s so important.”
Natasha’s experience in the red room is only hinted at in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but it has never been tackled again since. As this film will be about the Black Widow programme, we will get to learn more of Natasha’s life before she joined Shield and became an Avenger.
Pugh went on to say: “Part of the excitement for me is that women and girls from around the world are going to see this, and are going to see an abuse story that really was challenged by its own victims. For a Marvel film to be reaching all of those levels, it is so exciting. The best thing about that is, it’s not layered with this colour of grey. You’ll see these women strive and be strong, and they’re assassins – and yet they still need to discuss how they were abused. It’s an incredibly powerful piece.”
Black Widow will really be a focus on Natasha’s humanity, as she is one of the few superheros who doesn’t have superpowers, yet comes in swinging with grit and determination.
Black Widow is set to release October 29, 2020.
