Together, they face the dangerous villain Taskmaster, who can copy any fighting style, and aim to destroy the Red Room, the facility where Natasha and other Black Widows were trained.
This movie combines thrilling action with a deep look at Natasha’s journey for redemption and closure with her past. It also introduces New characters like Yelena, who will play an important role in the MCU’s future, especially in Hawkeye and Thunderbolts.
