  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Black Widow is the next movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Spider-Man: Far From Home, and the eleventh solo movie for a member of the "core six" Avengers, after Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War.


After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Natasha is on the run from the authorities. She reunites with her three friends, Yelena Belova, Melina Vostokoff and Alexei Shostakov (aka Red Guardian), in order to stop Taskmaster, a mysterious supervillain who is an expert in hand to hand combat and armed combat.

NOTE: Due to the nature of this movie, this page will contain SPOILERS for Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. You have been warned.

Examples of Black Widow (film) include:
  • Ambiguous Gender: Taskmaster wears full body armour and looks very androgynous, and pre-release material don't shows him talking or who is playing him, making it dubious if it is Tony Masters below the mask like in the comics.
  • Acrofatic: Alexei can still kick ass in hand-to-hand combat despite his massive girth.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Yelena and Melina are heroines in this movie, while they are both villains in the comics.
  • Adaptational Wimp: Melina doesn't have her Iron Maiden armor in the movie. 
  • Badass Normal: Natasha, Melina, Yelena, Alexei and Taskmaster don't have superpowers
  • Can't Die Before Getting Killed: Natasha can't die in this movie because she dies in Vormir. On a larger scale, Taskmaster's scheme must fail since Earth needs to be intact in order to fall victim to the Snap. Likewise, the "Pro-Bucky VS Anti-Bucky" conflict must endure since it's Thanos and his actions that dissolve that conflict.
  • Husky Russkie: Alexei.
  • Legacy Character: Both Natasha and Yelena are Black Widow.
  • Passing the Torch: Another movie that does this to one of the Big Six (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow), due ti Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Rufallo, Jeremy Renner  and Scarklett Johansson all being tired of the MCU. Here, Natasha passes the Black Widow torch to Yelena Belova, with Yelena being Black Widow in future MCU movies.
  • Superman Stays Out of Gotham/Four Lines, All Waiting: Scott and Hope don't help Natasha because they are both busy with the events of Ant-Man and The Wasp.
  • Whole-Episode Flashback: This movie takes place in the same timeframe as Spider-Man: Homecoming, Black Panther and Ant-Man and The Wasp.
