‘Black Widow’ is the backstory fans of the Marvel films needed for closure on this phase of the franchise. Yet, some people may be left with more questions than answers. The film after Captain America: Civil War, but before Avengers: Infinity War. During the film, we get a glimpse at Natasha Romanoff’s (Scarlett Johansson) early life before she became an Avenger. We’re introduced to the only real family she had, including her younger sister Yelena — who also becomes a secret operative. Her family reunites 20 years later to defeat an old foe. The action-packed film gives us more context on her background and where she comes from, but leaves plenty of questions about Black Widow’s future in the Avengers.
