Black Widow Character Posters Show Off The Film’s Stellar Cast

Black Widow is Marvel's next movie, and the start of the studio's "Phase Four" block of films. It releases on May 1, and alongside the film's new Super Bowl spot, Marvel has released four new character posters today.

The latest Black Widow posters revealed on Twitter show off the film's four main characters--Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, Rachel Weisz's Melina Vostokoff, and David Harbour's Red Guardian. Check them out below.

This is Johansson's eighth appearance as Black Widow, but the first time she has headlined her own movie. Florence Pugh is currently nominated for an Oscar for her work in Little Women, while David Harbour is best known for playing cantankerous police chief Jim Hopper in Stranger Things. Rachel Weisz is a huge star, who was most recently seen in 2018's The Favourite.

Also worth noting is that Black Widow is suddenly sporting a lot of earrings, with upwards of nine visible piercings on the one visible ear. Whether this will have any bearing on the plot or character remains to be seen, but odds are that they're being showcased so that fans have something to speculate on.

It's also interesting to note that while the other characters appear to be glancing into the distance, Black Widow's glance is right towards the camera.

This is likely to be Johansson's last appearance as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe--and since it's set before Avengers: Endgame, it's possible that a few other characters will pop up one last time, too. Marvel will also release The Eternals in November.
