Marvel boss Kevin Feige teases ‘completely unexpected’ surprises in Black Widow

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has teased that the upcoming Black Widow film will approach the character’s backstory ‘in a completely unexpected way’. Feige’s comments come days after the film was rescheduled for a November 6 release, after the cancellation of its original April debut due to the coronavirus shutdown.

He told Total Film in an interview, “She has such a rich backstory…We’ve hinted at it throughout all the other films. But we approach it in a completely unexpected way. She’s been up to a lot all along – in between when we see her in the other movies – some of which will be surprising to people.”
