The two-time Academy Award nominee, 36, stars in the new action-packed trailer for Black Widow, which dropped on Saturday. The new footage, set after the events of Captain America: Civil War, sees Johansson reprising the titular role of Natasha Romanoff, along with Florence Pugh as Yelena, David Harbour as Alexei/The Red Guardian and Rachel Weisz as Melina. "You don't know everything about me," Johansson's character says in a voiceover. "I've lived a lot of lives. Before I was an Avenger, before I got this family, I made mistakes, choosing between what the world wants you to be and who you are." She goes "back to where it all started," reuniting with her family for an adventure that forces her to confront her past. The trailer also gives a glimpse of Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson's daughter Ever Gabo, 13, as a young Natasha. Jay Maidment/©Marvel Studios 2020.
