But what can we expect from the film? While I’m sure the film will deliver the goods as a standalone piece — we have no reason to doubt director Cate Shortland, considering her previous two indie films, Berlin Syndrome and Lore were pretty damn good — one has to wonder if Black Widow will influence the larger MCU canon in a significant way. After all, that’s what a good prequel/spin-off does. Rogue One, comes to mind. Will Black Widow provide a similar experience? Perhaps. Marvel Studios chief, Kevin Feige says so. In an interview with IGN, Feige had this to say:
While I kind of wish this movie came out in chronological order, before the release of Infinity War, I’m still super pumped to catch it. Black Widow looks to be a James Bond-esque (Daniel Craig era) espionage picture that would certainly add another dimension to the already awesome character. Black Widow hits Malaysian cinemas on 30 April 2020.
