Everything We Know About Marvel's 'Black Widow'

Natasha Romanoff has been part of Marvel's cinematic universe since the beginning -- or since Iron Man 2, at least -- first as an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and then an Avenger, a rogue spy, a self-proclaimed"monster" and ultimately, a martyr. Now, 23 films into the MCU, Natasha is finally getting her due and fronting a movie of her own: the long-awaited Black Widow, which is poised to open her infamous ledger and delve deep into the red within.

"She's got no one to call and nowhere to go," Johansson told Entertainment Weekly."She really is grappling with her own self. When something huge explodes and all the pieces are landing and you have that moment of stillness where you don't know what to do next -- that's the moment that she's in. And in that moment, you actually have to face yourself." Where Natasha ultimately decides to go is Budapest.

Alexei Shostakov was actually the second Red Guardian in Marvel canon, a celebrated pilot who was recruited by the KGB to become the Soviet Union's counterpart to Steve Rogers. Alexei and Natasha were also husband and wife in the comics, until the KGB faked his death to exploit Nat into becoming Black Widow.

Yet, working off those clues, it's an easy assumption that Weisz's Melina is, in fact, Melina Vostokoff, a former KGB black ops agent-turned-mercenary and supervillain who goes by the name Iron Maiden. In the comics, Melina feels like she was forced to live in the shadow of Black Widow's legend and thus grows to despise Natasha and sets out to end her.Taskmaster. In the comics, Tony Masters is a one-time S.H.I.E.L.D.
