6) Black Widow’s Background Will Be Explored
Of all the MCU characters, Black Widow remains one of the most mysterious, despite Age of Ultron serving as the assassin’s fourth big-screen appearance. We’ve heard from director Joss Whedon that she would get more of the limelight this time around, and the trailer seems to point toward us finally figuring out a bit about her origin story.
In the comics, Natasha Romanova was orphaned as a child and quickly caught the attention of Soviet Intelligence and eventually joined the Black Widow Program, which trained a team of elite female sleeper agents. While in the program, she studied as a ballerina to hide her true occupation.
Mixed into the destruction and superhero antics of the Age of Ultron trailer is a shot of ballerinas and what looks like some shots of Hawkeye in Russia. Will the Avengers head East at some point, and learn more about Natasha along the way?
We sure hope so.
