Following the reveals of Natasha Romanoff (Scarlet Johansson) and Taskmaster (?), we have a first look at the
Black Widow tie-in trading card for Yelana Belova, who will be played by
Fighting With My Family and
Little Women actress Florence Pugh.
This image features Belova decked-out in her white battle gear, which includes the utility vest that many believe Natasha winds up wearing in earlier Marvel movies (later in the MCU timeline).
There's speculation that Yelena will ultimately take up the mantle of Black Widow and replace Romanoff as a member of The Avengers. There is some comic book precedent for this, of course, but in the source material Belova also goes on to work with S.H.I.E.L.D., Vanguard and HYDRA, so it remains to be seen how things play out in this film.
Check out the new shot of Pugh as Yelena Belova below along with the previously released cards, and ler us know what you think.

Yelena Belova
Florence Pugh will play Belova in Marvel's first (and most likely only) solo
Black Widow movie. She has previoulsy gained acclaim for her performances in the likes of WWE wrestling biopic
Fighting With My Family and Ari Aster's
Midsommar.
Taskmaster
We still know very little about Taskmaster or how he'll factor into the plot. It's believed that O-T Fagbenle will play him, but that has yet to be confirmed and could simply be misdirection. One outlandish theory claims that it might be Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton under the mask, but that seems more like wishful thinking to us
