I bought into the dysfunctional family atmosphere of the Romanoffs.
Without revealing too many of the movie’s best surprises, Black Widow introduces three key characters from Natasha’s story – the “family” she knew from her youth … but what information can a spy really trust. Alexi (David Harbor), her father, participated in the Super Soldier Serum program and took the nickname Red Guardian. Melina (Rachel Weisz), Natasha’s mother, tried to keep the family together, though her own experiments with mind manipulation make her valuable to her Russian warlords. Finally, and most importantly, Black Widow introduces the equally deadly Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Natasha’s sister and another graduate of the Red Room’s Widow program, whose eyes were recently opened to the harsh realities of her past.
