    First Reactions for Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow” Are Here [Spoiler Free]

    Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow” has finally screened for a select group of industry professionals, and the first round of spoiler-free reactions have started rolling in. True, it’ll still be a hot minute before the true ‘critics’ circle starts seeing the film at the end of the month, but, these are pretty promising, if not brutally honest.

    If you’ll recall, the film was originally supposed to bow in May of 2020, but, you know. Worldwide pandemic and all, causing the film to have 3 different pushbacks. Eventually, the House of Mouse and Marvel Studios decided that a Disney+ premiere, paired with theatrical releases where deemed safe, was the way to go.

    We’ve had no shortage of featurettes, new trailers, interviews, and BTS goodies released in the meantime….but was it enough to bring fans back to theaters? Let’s see what some insiders are saying so far….

    Marvel movies are back! #BlackWidow is a tense, action-packed spy thriller that truly completes Natasha’s story in a visceral & emotional way. Florence Pugh CRUSHES it & is an instant MCU icon. This is like the MCU's Bond movie w/ shades of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE & THELMA & LOUISE. pic.twitter.com/bauc2XVQlF

    I really liked Black Widow!! One of the funnier MCU movies, w/a ton of self-referential jokes for longtime fans, enough self-awareness to make the absurdity work. Florence Pugh & David Harbour steal the show. Definitely has some issues. But dug it! Absolutely see it in theaters! pic.twitter.com/i8s96I14It

    #BlackWidow is far from my favorite MCU entry, but there's still plenty to like for diehard fans. Florence Pugh steals the show as Yelena Belova. Putting Natasha Romanoff in the spotlight was *long* overdue, so I'm glad it finally happened. pic.twitter.com/QmNG5ZYmYR

    #BlackWidow is one of Marvel's best solo films.

    Start to finish, the movie is great. Excellent surprises, emotional character moments, bad-ass action, and Scarlett Johansson finally gets to pour everything into the role.

    Director Cate Shortland nailed it. Bravo. pic.twitter.com/sgEkUW63cT

    Ah yes, and the all important Marvel Cinematic Universe question….

    Yes, #BlackWidow has a post-credits scene

    (Maybe 2, I think?)

    Cate Shortland had the difficult job trying to fill in Natasha Romanoff’s backstory, but she nailed it in #BlackWidow. While entire cast was great both @Florence_Pugh and @DavidKHarbour hit home-runs with their performances. No way audiences don’t want more of both characters. pic.twitter.com/CIJTV4oxR6

    (This one is my personal favorite so far, because comparing “Black Widow” to “The Americans” is something I can totally get behind!)

    Mix the Jason Bourne movies, FX's The Americans, and MCU lore and you get #BlackWidow (or what i will call for now on, "The Moment Florence Pugh Took Over The World") … Definitely stick around for the post credits scene pic.twitter.com/btDWxb0bjX

    Directed by Cate Shortland, Marvel’s official synopsis for the film reads:


    In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.


    “Black Widow” will release on Disney+ (with premiere access, an additional charge) on July 9th, 2021.
