Black Widow served as the MCU's first film in the franchise's massive Phase 4 slate, and it revolved around the past of Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff.
The MCU prequel is set in between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War and follows the story of Romanoff's bittersweet reunion with her former Russian family, who are portrayed by Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Rachel Weisz (Melina Vostokoff), and David Harbour (Red Guardian).
Aside from being the first Marvel film to debut after numerous delays, Black Widow was also the only MCU project to receive a hybrid release in both theaters and on Disney+ via Premier Access. While the film garnered a good chunk of positive reviews from fans and critics, this release strategy eventually led to a messy lawsuit spearheaded by Johansson.
The lawsuit was ultimately settled, though, many would agree that it also pushed Black Widow to become the main topic of discussion among MCU fans even after its release.
Now, another reason to keep fans talking about Black Widow has emerged in the form of a new documentary special.
