Black Widow 2

As of January 2025, there is no official announcement or release of a sequel to Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow” (2021). The original film, starring Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of 79% based on 442 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The critical consensus states: “Black Widow’s deeper themes are drowned out in all the action, but it remains a solidly entertaining standalone adventure that’s rounded out by a stellar supporting cast.”

Some reviewers praised the film’s action sequences and performances, particularly highlighting Florence Pugh’s portrayal of Yelena Belova. For instance, a review from The Knockturnal mentions that the film “melds the best of both worlds” between a Marvel movie and a “Mission Impossible” style action film. However, others criticized its pacing and perceived lack of originality. A review from Forbes described it as “a prime example of what the MCU keeps getting wrong,” citing issues with its length and engagement.

Given the mixed reception and the character’s narrative arc within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the prospects for a direct sequel focusing solely on Black Widow appear uncertain. Marvel Studios has not provided any official information regarding a continuation of Natasha Romanoff’s story.
