Black Widow

Black Widow is a 2019 superhero film that is the seventh installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Reloaded, and the first to feature Black Widow, and also the first ever solo film to feature the character. The film also introduces Hawkeye in the MCUR.

Plot
The movie begins with a series of newspaper articles from the late 80's, detailing Natasha Romanova's (Mila Kunis) performance of Swan Lake with Mikhail Baryshnkov, her engagement to Red Army fighter pilot ace Captain Alexei Shostakov (Anton Yelchin), Shostakov's tragic death during the Soviet-Afghan War, and her enlistment in the KGB. It then shifts to a montage of Natasha assassinating various targets, among them being what appears to be a high-ranking U.S. diplomat, who, in his last breaths, asks who she is. Natasha replies by saying, "I am...the Black Widow."

It skips to 1990, the penultimate year of the Soviet Union's existence, where her handler, Ivan Petrovich (Hugo Weaving), is praising her as "Russia's greatest assassin", and is giving her her most important mission yet: to assassinate U.S. President George H.W. Bush before he attends a conference with Mikhail Gorbachev in Helsinki.
