Black Widow
Thought three Avengers was enough for one Thor movie? Guess again, as another of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes also turns up in Ragnarok. Marvel should give themselves a pat on the back for keeping this one a secret.
Stuck on Sakaar, Thor and Hulk attempt to escape in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet that took the Jade Giant into space at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. When the controls are activated, a pre-recorded message featuring Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow appears, which instantly calms Hulk down and returns him to Bruce Banner.
“Nice work, big guy,” Natasha says, in a scene which is meant to be set during Ultron‘s climax. “We don’t know where Ultron’s headed but you’re going very high very fast so I need you to turn this bird around, ok? We can’t track you in stealth mode, so… I need you to help me out, ok?”
Johansson’s role is a small but very welcome cameo, presumably filmed during production on Infinity War. Widow’s red hair looks like a wig in this scene, too, which fits with the blonde look we know that the character has in the upcoming team-up movie.
