Black Widow: Scarlett Johansson 'passing the baton' to Florence Pugh in final movie twist

Black Widow director Cate Shortland recently spoke to Empire about the upcoming film.

Black Widow’s initial release date was May 1 this year, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it was pushed back to November of this year.

Speaking about the introduction of Pugh’s character in this film, Shortland explained: “[Kevin Feige] realised that the audience would expect an origin story so, of course, we went in the opposite direction.”

Pugh was then praised by her director, who went on to add: “We didn’t know how great Florence Pugh would be.
