Not even death will stop Black Widow from finally getting her own movie.

Scarlett Johansson returns as Natasha Romanoff in the first trailer for Marvel's Black Widow released Tuesday, which shows off a spy thriller set prior to the events of Avengers: Endgame. Though not an origin story, the film looks set to reveal more about Natasha's past than previously known, including through the introduction of a sister figure played by Florence Pugh. The trailer also reveals two other characters from Natasha's past: Red Guardian, played by David Harbour, and Melina, played by Rachel Weisz.
