Black Widow anticipation thread

Not really. All we know is that Zola apparently recruited Fennhoff because 1) the were SSR cellmates and 2) Fennhoff probably knew Leviathan would consider him compromised, so even if he escaped, he'd be hunted by both sides. So cozening up to Hydra was in his own best interest. It also means that what very little of what he knew of Leviathan would be of little to no use.

 

HYDRA effectively owned the Leviathan base where Barnes was locked up between missions by the time they had him kill the Starks.

 

First look at Taskmaster from SDCC...

They also showed some footage at the convention but I haven't seen it online yet. They might not release it at all.

 

SDCC panel...

Who said it was a Leviathan base? It was Russian military co-opted by Hydra. Not the same thing.

 

As SHIELD to the US Defense Department in the MCU, so Leviathan to the Soviet Military apparatus.

New poster unveiled at d23...

Oh, rats, I thought this thread bumping meant we finally got a trailer.

Cool poster and it seems to suggest that three core supporting actors (Pugh, Harbour, Weisz) aren't secretly Taskmaster.

 

Sorry, bumping again without a trailer.

First look at "White Widow" costume from d23...

Damnit!

 

Poster looks a bit plastic-y, but I like that costume design a lot more than anything she's had before.

 

Glad this is finally happening. It's a bit strange, tho, that her origin story will be filmed when she's 10 years older than we first saw her.

 

I like the poster, the new costume for her is pretty cool, and the white one is pretty nifty too.

 

I like her best as a redhead.

 

Deadline reports that Robert Downey Jr. will appear as Tony Stark in Black Widow...

 

Wow. I always thought there was a slight chance we might see him and/or Chris Evans again eventually, but I didn't expect it to be this soon. It seems kind of odd that they would just casually drop that in the Saturn Awards article before an official announcement was made. I wonder if that was a mistake?
