It's been so many years between Black Widow’s MCU introduction and getting her own movie.

Let’s say you’re a horror fan- or someone who just really loved Get Out- and maybe you’ve recently watched the award-winning Shudder documentary, Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and loved that too. So where to go from here? Like all pathways to someplace new, it can be challenging to know where to start, particularly once you discover Get Out and Candyman are part of a broader tradition going back way further than 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, or even the 1930’s when Zora Neale Hurston was studying zombie myths in Haiti …

David Harbour is reportedly joining the Black Widow movie cast alongside Scarlett Johansson.

Jordan Peele’s Get Out shattered both minds and expectations when it hit cinemas in 2017: scoring both a best original screenplay Oscar and bringing a welcome critical eye to a genre that has historically sidelined people of color in favor of white narratives. The young director brought “Black Horror” to new prominence, but as Shudder’s recent documentary Horror Noire proves, Black films and filmmakers have always been a crucial (though not always visible) part of the fright flick landscape. This deep well of genre cinema has championed, explored, or exploited the lot of people of color since the medium’s earliest days, and with Peele’s sophomore effort, Us primed to tear up the box office, now is a perfect time to re-discover the highs and lows of African American Horror cinema that came before.

The standalone Black Widow movie may have found another actress to star alongside Scarlett Johansson as reports say that Fighting With My Family's Florence Pugh is in talks to join the film.
