Unlike last year when they opted to promote Avengers: Endgame during the pregame show, Marvel Studios has reentered the Super Bowl with the debut of a brand new Big Game spot for Cate Shortland's eagerly awaited Black Widow.

The long-awaited standalone feature will see 2x Academy Award-nominee Scarlett Johansson (Avengers: Endgame) reprise her role as Natasha Romanoff and introduce several new characters into the greater MCU, including, but not limited to, Academy Award-nominee Florence Pugh (Little Women) as Yelena Belova, 2x Primetime Emmy-nominee David Harbour (Stranger Things) as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian and Academy Award-winner Rachel Weisz (The Favourite) as Melina Vostokoff.

Plus, along with the new spot, they've also released four awesome character posters spotlighting the principal cast of super spies.

Despite making the ultimate sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame last year, Scarlett Johansson is back as Natasha Romanoff in this long overdue standalone feature, which will fill in some blanks in the fan-favorite Avenger's checkered history.

Hot on the heels of her Academy Award nomination for Little Women, Florence Pugh has signed on for her biggest role to date, starring as Yelena Belova, who may or may not ultimately be Natasha's successor in the present day Marvel Cinematic Unvierse.

It's been nearly two decades since Academy Award-winner Rachel Weisz tangoed with The Mummy, but she's (finally!) back in the world of action movies as one of the original Black Widows Melina Vostokoff.

While Hellboy may not have worked out, David Harbour will reenter the superhero realm as the Red Guardian. Not much is known about his past, but the trailers have teased some sort of prison break as well as a showdown with Taskmaster, so gear up for some superhero goodness.

In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger. Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, “Black Widow”—the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—hits U.S. theaters on May 1, 2020.

Black Widow features:
Director: Cate Shortland
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova/Black Widow
David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian
Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostokoff/Black Widow
O-T Fagbenle as Rick Mason

Ray Winstone in an undisclosed role
Olivier Richters in an undisclosed role
TBD as Taskmaster
