Marvel’s Black Widow movie has MCU fans absolutely livid about what they did to this villain

This was such a big opportunity wasted.

Alright, let’s waste absolutely no time getting into this. Spoiler alert right here.

SPOILER ALERT: This post will contain key plot details to Marvel’s Black Widow. Feel free to watch the movie then come back to this post.

Full disclosure: As a Natasha Romanov fan, the movie is totally enjoyable. It peels back the layers of her we’d always wanted to know about.

The Black Widow movie fills in those holes. It drops us in the timeline right after Civil War and explores her past, her “family,” that infamous Budapest adventure with Hawkeye, and even the moment she defected from the Red Room.

The movie also introduces us to a new villain. One that only exists as a direct result of a mistake a ruthless Romanov made on her infamous adventure with Hawkeye in Budapest.

As the final step in Natasha’s transition to SHIELD, she had to kill Dreykov who was the leader of the Red Room and the creator of the Black Widow Project. She decided to blow him up despite knowing his daughter, Antonia, was in the room. She did it anyway.

Turns out, all of these years later, they’d both somehow survived. Dreykov was relatively unscathed but Antonia was left with facial scarring.

Dreykov, being the diabolical villain he is, used that as an opportunity to turn his daughter into Taskmaster — an incredible fighter who can mimic any fighting style. And that’s where my only gripe with this movie comes in.

WATCH: Lonzo, LaMelo Ball appear in Black Widow, ESPN crossover commercial

Lonzo and LaMelo Ball made a rare appearance in a national commercial on Sunday as part of a crossover ad with ESPN and Black Widow.

The Ball brothers aren’t typically known for their appearances in commercials, making their appearance on ESPN on Sunday a surprising one. In a crossover commercial with Black Widow that ran during the Clippers-Suns Western Conference Finals Game 1, LaMelo and Lonzo Ball take part in a family dinner with part of the cast of Black Widow.

The highlight of the commercial features LaMelo’s toast at the end in which he says “A toast to family, may they always be a pain in the…” before Lonzo smacks him in the back of the head to cut him off. The two pull off the commercial incredibly well.

In a spot that wasn’t shown on TVs during the game, Lonzo posted another ad to his Instagram with brother LaMelo.

This time, the two brothers are in a car when they “narrowly avoid” Black Widow in a chase. While Lonzo notes two sisters working together helped take out the villain, LaMelo points out another missed turn by his oldest brother.

The commercials are fun look at the Ball brothers that fans aren’t typically able to see.

Marvel Studios’ new ‘Black Widow’ trailer is going back to where it all started

The new ‘Black Widow’ trailer is giving us some major ‘Avengers’ vibes!

Marvel Studios has certainly tested our patience with the arrival of the anticipated Black Widow movie. We’ve waited and gotten our hopes up for the arrival of Natasha Romanoff’s backstory, which was originally supposed to be released in May 2020.

But it’s more than the one-year delay in the release ,as it is the extended wait to finally get this Black Widow movie after a slew of Marvel movies.

Now, following nearly a year in delays due to COVID-19, it sounds like we have a definitive release date for Black Widow, which will hit theaters and Disney+ on July 9.

That was made apparent when Marvel Studios dropped a new trailer for Black Widow, which had some major Avengers vibes — from the flashbacks with her and the Avengers to the actual score used in this trailer.

The trailer starts off with a voiceover from Natasha — as flashbacks to previous movies play — where she alludes to some unfinished business and secrets from her past.

“You don’t know everything about me, I’ve lived a lot of lives,” she says. “Before I was an Avenger. Before I got this family. I made mistakes choosing between what the world wants you to be, and who you are.”

The film takes place after Captain America: Civil War, where we find Natasha on the run from the government as she deals with her history as a spy, as well as her broken relationships before she became an Avenger.

And, safe to say, this is going be another blockbuster hit from Marvel Studios.

Twitter had plenty to say about the new trailer, including people losing it over the Avengers score playing at the end.

Black Widow will be released both in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 9.

Report: NBA players may get early access to movies at Disney World, including ‘Black Widow’

Lucky!!!

Per the NBA’s health and safety protocol for staying in Disney World that includes a bunch of quirky items from the anonymous tip line for reporting violations to no doubles in ping pong, there will be plenty of entertainment for players in the Magic Kingdom.

And according to a report from Yahoo’s Keith Smith, players and others inside the bubble in Orlando — remember, friends and families can join only in the second round of the playoffs — may get access to Disney movies that haven’t been released yet … including the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Widow, which will be coming in November.

That’s so unfair! If NBA players get early access, Disney should release to the public too! Here are some reactions:
