10 Black Widow (2021)

Black Widow was the first and only Black Widow movie made in Marvel Cinematic Universe. Before this, she appeared in 9 movies for almost 12 years as Black Widow.

Black Widow is a spy thriller that reveals the darker past of Natasha Romanoff. It shows the story of the Black Widow program, which was run by Dreykov. The movie takes place right after the events of Captain America: Civil War (2016). Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz also played important roles in the movie. This movie is not a masterpiece, but if you loved her portrayal of Black Widow, then this will become one of your favorite Scarlett Johansson movies.
