The long anticipated Black Widow is being released this week and fans can't wait to see the return of Agent Romanoff - aka Scarlett Johansson - return.
After sacrificing herself in Avengers Endgame to get hold of the soul infinity stone, this film takes fans back a step - to Romanoff's former life as a KGB assassin.
Black Widow takes place after Captain America: Civil War and before Avengers: Infinity War. It's a 'filling in' film, which tells fans a bit more about Agent Romanoff before her life as an Avenger.

Fans have been teased about Romanoff's dark past in previous Marvel films, including in Captain America: Winter Soldier, when Alexander Pierce threatens to expose it before he is defeated by Romanoff and the other Avengers.
Speaking to Total Film, Johansson, who plays Romanoff, said she hopes Black Widow will bring some closure to Marvel fans after Romanoff's tragic death in Endgame.
"Our goal was for them to feel satisfied with this story," she said. "That they could maybe have some resolution, I think, with this character's death, in a way. It felt like people wanted that."

If you're not ready to say goodbye to Agent Romanoff just yet, Black Widow gives fans just that little bit more of the fiery Avenger to hold onto.
