Black Widow is finally getting her own solo movie next May, and fans are desperate for their first official look at Scarlett Johansson’s long-awaited standalone adventure as Natasha Romanoff. Unfortunately, we don’t have that just yet, but those in attendance at D23 today were shown a brief clip from the movie as part of a tease at what’s to come from Disney in the upcoming year. And, as these things tend to do, it’s now leaked online.
Audience member Juan Arcones filmed the four-second clip on his phone and shared the video on Twitter. Naturally, MCU lovers are going wild over even this tiny scrap of footage and you can see it for yourself down below:

This clip might only be a handful of seconds long, but it does tell us one thing about Cate Shortland’s movie: it’s going to have epic action sequences. Nat’s not called the Black Widow for nothing and it looks like we’re going to get the full extent of her Red Room-trained abilities on display in the film. Plus, there’s the glimpse of what promises to be a gripping car chase. This looks like it might be part of the roadside set piece we got some set photos of last month.
As revealed at Comic-Con, Black Widow will feature an all-star cast alongside Johansson, as various figures of importance in Natasha’s life. Rachel Weisz will play another, evil Black Widow named Melina, David Harbour is Red Guardian (the Russian equivalent of Captain America) and Florence Pugh is another Red Room graduate named Yelena, who becomes a sister figure for Nat. Taskmaster will also appear as the main villain, though it’s unknown who’s under the mask.
Be on the lookout for more exciting teasers at D23 this weekend. As for when a full Black Widow trailer will be released, don’t expect it anytime soon, but maybe we’ll get lucky and have it by the end of the year.
