Disney's latest 'Black Widow' trailer is easily the best one yet

If you've been struggling to get excited about the theatrical launch of Marvel's Phase 4 of the MCU, this trailer might be what you're looking for.

I don't know about you, but I've struggled to muster up much enthusiasm for Black Widow. Even loving all the Marvel Cinematic Universe things, this one just seems a little late. The title character is dead after the events of Endgame and the actor who plays her, Scarlett Johansson, has had her own image problems in recent years.

This new trailer, which hypes the upcoming combo theatrical-Disney+ Premiere Access release on July 9, has a lot going for it. We start with a look at Black Widow's legacy and our emotional investment her journey through the MCU so far. Then we turn to the movie, focusing primarily on big action moments and fresh looks at the one of the movie's marquee villains, the Taskmaster.

Finally, layered on top of the trailer we have a dramatic reworking of the forever-incredible Avengers theme that seems like it was concocted in a lab with the express purpose of getting MCU fans hyped. It works. Black Widow will be here before you know it.
