Marvel’s Black Widow, in production for a month, but studio president Kevin Feige delivered the goods for fans at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
Filmmakers brought an intense sizzle reel of on-location shots, kicked off by a dazzling and bone-crushing fight sequence between lead Scarlett Johansson and her sister Florence Pugh.
The narrative seems to be a prequel to the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” which ended on a fateful note for Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow).
Her standalone film sees the assassin in Budapest, where she tracks down Pugh for a violent reunion. The women go head-to-head with guns and knives, destroying a lovely mid-century kitchen along the way.
The confrontation ends with Pugh laying out two shot glasses and popping the top off a bottle of Russian vodka.
