Two other characters from Natasha’s past are also revealed through the trailer which includes; Red Guardian, played by David Harbour, and Melina played by Rachel Weisz.

The set of Black widow takes place a few years after Captain America: Civil War before Avengers: Infinity War as Natasha was one of the Avengers who didn’t make it out of Avengers: Endgame alive.

The trailer does acknowledge Endgame however by opening with part of an emotional monologue delivered by Natasha in that film, which ends with a new line: “Nothing lasts forever.”

Following the conclusion of Endgame and the epilogue of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Black Widow is considered the official first film of Marvel’s “phase four,” which will also include Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Thor sequels, as well as films based on new properties, The Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the former movie following Black Widow in November 2020.

The film hits theatres on May 1 2020.
