come anticipate scarjo as black widow in BLACK WIDOW, marvel studios' movie about black widow starring black widow

Florence Pugh's Russian accent should have received an Oscar.

Lol I think this is the only MCU movie in recent years I actually watched and I watched it solely because SJ and FP are the hottest people imo. Don’t remember anything about it, but would probably watch again.

don’t sleep on rachel weisz

Ah I was wondering about her accent : is it still ok for Brit/US actors to do foreign accents ? Maybe in comedy.

you can always do a funny russian or italian accent

I don’t make the rules, I just observe them

Yeah I don’t know where’s the line : would it be ok with a Latino, Asian, Arabic, African etc ?

Shocked to learn that this is a movie that came out at some point.

this may have been the first theatrical release of the pandemic? It feels like 100 years ago.

Yeah I watched it on tv, so quite recently, and I barely remember it

I think Tenet was the first theatrical release of the pandemic? BW was pushed back to 2021, and released simultaneously on streaming.

It felt like BW was a bit downplayed, probably due it being a prequel coupled w the events of avengers endgame. It was a bit worthier than a lot of the flicks considered more essential to the ongoing marvel narrative.

I think it was Tenet, yes. I recall talking myself out of seeing that 10 times--which was probably silly, as theatres were virtually empty I would soon find out. Still haven't caught up with it.

BW was kind of shuffled out in a weird way that let them pretend they were creating a b-tier of movies instead of acting like Avengers is the throughline and every other superhero movie in the universe has equal billing

I think overly referencing past Avengers movies kind of proved that out and also was the weak point for this particular outing

I don’t think you’d be lost if you hadn’t seen other Marvel movies, except maybe with JDD scene at the end

It does feel like it’s been 100 years since this happened, but (as a reminder on the release sitch) there was a big ScarJo/Disney lawsuit around BW being released simultaneously in theaters and D+.

I think the studio lost some of its leverage by killing off her character before putting out the first BW movie

It's JLD's first appearance in the films - she was in one of the TV shows before.
