TheBlack Widowmovie has a way around that by being set beforeAvengers : Endgame- but it ’s still using it in the merchandising . ThefirstBlack Widowtraileropens with a familiar line of business of dialog from Natasha , who says:“I used to have nothing . But then I get this job , this crime syndicate . But nothing live constantly . “That bloodline is taken direct from a conversation Nat has with Steve Rogers inAvengers : Endgame , as they reflect on those they ’ve lost and attempt to move on . There , it ’s a poignant moment about what they ’ve lost , but it ’s used here as a reminder that Black Widow does n’t have an MCU future of her own .

TheBlack Widowtrailer then doubles - down on the reference book toAvengers : Endgameat the very final stage , with a shaft of Natasha performing a skydive . Although there ’s a very unlike context to this moment , and we know for a fact she come through it , it ’s nonetheless hard to get aside from the ocular similarities ofher concluding moments inEndgame , when she leapt to her expiry on Vormir . Both occasions , apart from the ocular parallels , also play up just what Black Widow is willing to do as a hero , regardless of personal jeopardy or cost , which is a theme that is particularly   apt after the events ofAvengers : Endgame .

Marvel take something of an strange step in makingBlack Widow , a prequel feature a bushed character , thefirst movie of the MCU ’s Phase 4 , but the mode it wed itself toAvengers : Endgamegives a great savvy of that decision . Not only does it closely connect what befall inAvengers : Endgame , despite being in the future , to Natasha ’s past times , but it can countenance this movie a substance of better setting upBlack Widow ’s   sacrificein that movie and   further cementing her MCU bequest as a true fighter .
