Black Widow Post-Credits Scene, Explained

Black Widow — Scarlett Johansson’s solo journey, now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar — inevitably has a scene through the credit, as is the case with almost each Marvel Cinematic Universe film. The lone exception so far is the studio’s largest film of all time, Avengers: Endgame, which additionally noticed the demise of Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff. For exactly that motive, Black Widow‘s post-credits scene does not contain Natasha within the flesh. Instead, it focuses on a associated character — and brings in one other character from a Disney+ collection. Naturally, Black Widow‘s ultimate scene is tied to the MCU’s future.

Major spoilers forward for Black Widow. Stop studying if you have not seen the Marvel film.

Black Widow ending, defined

After the high-flying climactic act that ends with Dreykov’s floating house crashing to the bottom, Natasha bids goodbye to her “family” — her “younger sister” Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), her “father” Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour), and her “mother” Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) — as the federal government forces arrive. The three of them depart with Antonia Dreykov/ Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) and all the opposite Widows whose minds have been free of the chemical agent that was utilized by the villain Dreykov for everybody within the Red Room, following Natasha’s defection to S.H.I.E.L.D.

A few weeks later, Natasha meets up along with her fixer Rick Mason (O-T Fagbenle) who provides her with the Quinjet that was utilized by Steve Rogers/ Captain America (Chris Evans) to free the imprisoned Avengers on the finish of Captain America: Civil War. That closes out Natasha’s standalone journey — it will lead into the occasions of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

Black Widow post-credits scene, defined

Black Widow‘s post-credits scene picks up following Endgame, with Yelena again in Ohio the place she lived as a child, as we noticed initially of Black Widow. She has a canine along with her and she or he is visiting Natasha’s grave. It’s not the funeral that followers had demanded within the wake of Endgame, but it surely undoubtedly looks like a response to that. “Daughter, Sister, Avenger,” her tombstone reads. The grieving Yelena bends down, grabs the tombstone, and whistles — identical to they did as youngsters. Yelena’s second of quiet is rudely interrupted by somebody simply then, who’s blowing her nostril.

Turns out it is Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), the mysterious lady whom we first met within the Disney+ collection The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. (It was then revealed that Louis-Dreyfus can be a part of Black Widow, so followers who’ve been carefully following the information had been ready all film for her arrival.) Valentina apologises for her behaviour, claiming she’s allergic to the Midwest. Ohio is a part of Midwestern US. Valentina then provides: “What this woman [Natasha] did, honestly, I can’t even imagine.”

“You’re not supposed to be bothering me on my holiday time, Valentina,” Yelena says in response, confirming that the 2 already know one another. “I’m just here paying my respects,” Valentina says to placate her. Yelena is not shopping for that and says, “You know, coming here makes you look desperate. I want a raise,” which means that she has been working for Valentina. Similar to how she recruited US Agent. Louis-Dreyfus chuckles earlier than noting that she has her “next target.” Handing Yelena an iPad, Valentina provides: “Maybe you’d like a shot at the man responsible for your sister’s death.”

Who’s on the iPad? It’s Clint Barton/ Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Wait, what now? Sure, Clint was with Natasha on Vormir in Endgame when she died, however how is Valentina spinning this absurd fabrication? Clearly, faux information is an issue within the MCU too. But how lengthy does Valentina anticipate this lie to carry up? I might think about it’s going to take Clint two minutes to carry up one thing he would not know if he wasn’t near Natasha. He may even argue that he supplied to sacrifice himself in lieu of Natasha, although I do not suppose Yelena would obtain that properly. (“You should’ve done a better job,” Yelena may retort.)

In any case, what this establishes is that Pugh can have a semi-antagonistic function on the upcoming collection Hawkeye, led by Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, and premiering in late November on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar. We already knew about Pugh’s involvement on Hawkeye, so no surprises on that entrance, however now we have now a bit of extra course on what that entails. This just isn’t the primary story although. Hawkeye is about Renner’s Clint passing the baton to Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop, simply as Black Widow did the identical from Natasha to Yelena.

Black Widow is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
