But, until more details are officially revealed, Pugh is opening up about working on the film and what fans can expect from Natasha's first solo movie.
During an interview with Beanie Feldstein for Variety's Actors on Actors series, Pugh explained that working on Black Widow was one of the most "bizarre, nuts, extravaganza experiences." She went on to emphasize how much she enjoyed working with a female director in a female-led film as well, explaining that working with Shortland and alongside Johansson was a "very, very unique and special experience," adding in that she knew she had "to take it all in." When talking about the film itself, she explained that the whole cast and crew has made something that's "very raw and very painful and very beautiful" adding in that she thinks "people are going to be really surprised by the outcome of a big action film having that much heart."
Black Widow will be Marvel's second female-led solo film, following in the steps of all-female Marvel movie, even if her character isn't involved. Since its start in 2008 with Iron Man, Marvel has taken major steps forward when it comes to representation and diversity. So, hopefully, Black Widow will be another successful step for the company.

Knowing that the film will be grounded in such strong emotions shows that Shortland and the cast have cooked up something exciting for Marvel fans. Hopefully, a trailer will be released soon to help give anxiously-awaiting fans more of an idea as to what to expect from Black Widow before it hits theaters next year.
