The following story contains spoilers for the MCU and Black Widow.īlack Widow is now finally out in theaters and on Disney+ (for those who feel like spending an additional $29.99), and that likely closes the book on Natasha Romanoff, the character played now in eight Marvel Cinematic Universe movies across an 11-year span by Scarlett Johansson. |
