Set photos fromBlack Widowappear to confirm the motion-picture show ’s place in the MCU timeline . Marvel Studios is currently trying to keep their post - Phase 3 slate under wraps until after the release ofSpider - Man : Far From Home , which probably means they ’re save official announcements until their Hall H panel at S`an Diego Comic - Con .

That say ,   the upcomingBlack Widowmovie is probably Marvel ’s worst - kept secret , not least becauseCate Shortland ’s filmis currently germinate in Budapest . Set photos have appeared to reassert that at least one of the villains isTaskmaster , a bad guy comical book readers have long want to see introduced on the big screen . They ’ve also patently confirmed thatFlorence Pugh is diddle the part of Yelena Belova , Natasha ’s heir in the Red Room program .

The recent batch of primed photos may also confirm whenBlack Widowis fix in terms of its relation to the MCU . AsGeeks Worldwide’sThomas Polito note on Twitter ( via : CBR ) , they show Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh at the rack of a 2017 BMW 5 Series Touring Wagon . Combining this with the fact that Johansson ’s hair does n’t have a trace of white dyestuff , theBlack Widowprequel appear to be define sometime betweenCaptain America : Civil WarandAvengers : Infinity War .

This is an interesting decision on Marvel ’s part . It means this is n’t a Black Widow origin report at all ; Natasha Romanoff is an out - and - out hero , albeit one who now has valued little support . InCaptain America : The Winter Soldier , Black Widow floor all SHIELD ’s single file onto the cyberspace - include those that key out her own retiring historyas an assassinator and KGB factor . She was initially protect from the fallout from this by the Avengers , but the Sokovia Accords caused the Avengers to sliver , and by the end ofCaptain America : Civil War , Black Widow was on the runnel .

It ’s possible thatBlack Widowis localise before Natasha teamed up with Steve Rogers as a member of hisSecret Avengersteam ; alternatively , it could be that this is a side - mission that she prefer to conduct on her own . Regardless , whatever ’s going on promises to be very personal to Natasha Romanoff . If Yelena Belova is involved , thenBlack Widowwill see Natasha discover that the Red Room curriculum is still active , and that she has a successor who ’s out to prove herself as her superior . With Natasha operating alone , there ’s every possible action she ’ll find herself outmatched by a newBlack Widowwhose science are at least equal to her own .
