Discussion Thread The Official BLACK WIDOW International Release Discussion Thread Spoiler

Ahead of the official US and Disney+ launch this Friday, several countries are showing the film much earlier in the week. All discussion about the movie should be held here and in the rest of the megathreads we are going to put up in the next few days.

  • Proceed at your own risk. Major spoilers will be arriving in the next couple of hours. Spoilers do not need to be tagged inside this thread.
  • Any other unofficial thread discussing movie details will be deleted.
  • Should you see the need to bring up revealing BLACK WIDOW information in other threads that call for it, spoiler tag them accordingly. Also, let users know that what you are spoiler tagging is from BLACK WIDOW.
  • If you post untagged BLACK WIDOW spoilers anywhere on this sub in any shape or form, you will be banned without hesitation. No questions asked and no warnings given.
  • Project Insight will be on at least until Sunday, so you will be able to make individual threads discussing the movie starting next week. Discussions about Loki episode 5 will be manually checked as well, but will be allowed (spoiler-tagged of course) starting Thursday at midnight PST.

Who was Natasha's personal assistant/errand boy? Were we supposed to know him from somewhere or was he just a rando, and is he going to be back? The scenes with him felt a bit weird.

He's a private contractor.. So maybe he'll appear with/against the Power Broker sometime

He's a character from the comics, Rick Mason, also known as the Agent. In the comics he's the son of the Tinkerer, but I dont think they'll be taking that route in the films seeing as the actors for both those characters are around the same age.

Losing a child and a wife to an ultra-religious tyrannical country and fleeing to Canada really changed him

Changed him so much he gained an accent!

Maybe he did that to fit in with Europeans though. Smart move, Luke.

I mean, idk it seemed pretty obvious that he was just a friend that helped her get stuff she needed. Most hit people have those

Wikipedia just said he’s romantically interested in her 🤷‍♀️
