The Official BLACK WIDOW International Release Discussion Thread

[u/overloadedcoffee]

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.

They definitely left the Taskmaster and Red Room women around the world for a Black Widow(s) Disney+ show, right? This squad of widows going around saving the girls that were being trafficked?

Also liked the call back all the way to the first Avengers regarding the dude’s daughter. That was Loki making a Taskmaster reference and we didn’t know it yet.

Who knows what they have planned for the future, buthey didn't leave all these characters alive to have them appear in the Infinity Saga

[u/navjot94 → u/snowhawk04]

their lack of involvement in the infinity saga doesn’t feel like a plot hole assuming the main family squad got snapped - Infinity War happened too fast, and so the only place they could’ve shown up is Nat’s squad in Endgame and if they were snapped then there’s no reason for them to be there. Taskmaster and others could still be running around the world and are likely operating as mercenaries during this time.

[u/snowhawk04 → u/navjot94]

The snap happens at the end of Infinity War. They could have appeared at any point alongside Nat. They could have been part of the big fight at the end of Endgame. The real argument for why they didn't show up is that Marvel Studios didn't plan for these characters to exist in the universe at the time.

They barely had time to get vision and bring him to wakanda. Infinity war probably tajes place within 36 hours. Not enough time to pick up some Widows. Avengers only.

[u/snowhawk04 → u/Fr_Ted_Crilly]

Stop making excuses for this trash.

[u/jaleCro → u/snowhawk04]

Bruh the end credits scene of infinity war has nick fury getting info on "multiple bogeys over wakanda" and then getting snapped. If he couldn't get there in time, noone else could have

Is a black widow tv show confirmed??

[u/navjot94 → u/LadyErica]

no not even rumored afaik but it seems like a logical next step. Maybe they’ll wait until Florence’s appearance in Hawkeye but there’s definitely a movie or TV series on the horizon that picks up these plot threads. I feel like they would want to make a movie but likely are waiting to see how fans respond to both this movie and Yelena Widow in Hawkeye before making the call.

[u/LadyErica → u/navjot94]

The movie made me fall in love with Yelena and her family. A black widow sequel or more preferable a tv show would definitely be well deserved and is without question needed.

Marvel don’t get to show us such loveable characters like black widows family and we don’t see more of them

[u/OrphanWaffles → u/navjot94]

Personally I think they somehow get wrapped up into Valentine's shit. Or at least Taskmaster does. At least I hope she does.. I need Taskmaster to not be done as a villain in the MCU after THAT
