“I’m looking forward to exploring her as a fully realised woman in all of her many facets,” Johansson said about playing Natasha Romanoff at the panel, according to Variety. For the uninitiated, Yelena Belova was the second modern-era character to use the name Black Widow. Initially a rival of Natasha, she later became Natasha’s ally. Yelena also had connections with HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D, and Vanguard. The film will be directed by Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland, best known for Lore, a World War II drama. Shortland will become the studio’s first female director to helm a stand-alone film. Black Widow also features Rachel Weisz, David Harbour and OT Fagbenle in pivotal roles. There are rumours that Black Widow will be set 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, with Romanoff having now made America her home. This would place the film’s events somewhere in mid-2000s.
