Black Widowmay not hit theaters for over three months, but Marvel Studios is giving eager fans a little taste of the action.
The comics-inspired film giant released a90-second clip of footagefrom the movie on Monday, which shows the title character, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), facing off against some deadly foes alongside “sister” Black WidowsFlorence PughandRachel Weisz, as well as teammate Alexei Shostakov, a.k.a. Red Guardian (David Harbour).
The clip begins with a post-Civil WarRomanoff reuniting with her fellow trained assassin Yelena Belova (Pugh, 24), where she admits she’s “on the run” after Belova asks her what she’s doing home.
Subsequent scenes show Belova and Romanoff speeding away on motorcycles, a S.W.A.T. team infiltrating a building, Romanoff playing sniper and each of the heroes showing off their impressive fighting skills.
“We have unfinished business,” Romanoff tells Belova, who asks, “Who’s ‘we’?” before showing Shostakov and fellow Black Widow Melina Vostokoff (Weisz, 49) taking on some bad guys.

Heartwarming scenes from the first trailer are again featured, including a mealtime get-together with the four teammates that sees Vostokoff telling Shostakov, “You got fat.”
“It’s mainly water weight,” he quips in response.
Romanoff proclaims shortly after in a voiceoverduring fiery action sequences, “I’m done running from my past” — and fans get the first glimpse of villain Taskmaster, who scarily mimics Romanoff’s exact movements.
“Who the hell is that guy?” Romanoff asks Belova, of the masked Taskmaster (whose portrayer has not yet been disclosed).

Pugh recently sat down forVariety‘s Actors on Actors series, where she briefly talked about how surprisingly emotional the action movie is. Though Johansson’s Black Widow character met her end inEndgame, the movie will focus on the Russian spy’s past and how she came to be one of Earth’s mightiest heroes.
“I know lots of people will be emotional about her because her character had such a hard ending [inEndgame], but it was special learning from her, and she’s been doing this for like 10 years in those films,” Pugh added of Johansson. “For this to beherfilm was special. And I got tobe there and see how she does stunts and lives it, and it’s so her.”
