Black Widow

            

         Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha Romanoff in this Marvel stand-alone spinoff. The film takes place before the events in "Avengers: Endgame" and centers on Natasha reuniting with her Russian "family" to bring down General Dreykov (played by Ray Winstone), the man behind the mind controlling Black Widow program.

          Florence Pugh plays Yelena Belova, another Black Widow and raised as a sister to Natasha. Their "parents" are played by David Harbour as Alexi Shostakov, The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostokoff. The four core actors all have great chemistry and all blend well into the Marvel universe.

          The film is an entertaining adventure with lots of action and a dose of humor. It is available on DIsney + for a premium price (no premium after October) or in theaters. Of course, films like this are made for the big screen, if you are comfortable going to the theater, it's the best place to see it, and stay for the post credit scene.
