New or Recurring? Recurring.
Last Seen In: Last year’s "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," where she teamed with Cap to take down S.H.I.E.L.D., corrupted from within by villainous Nazi faction group Hydra.
This Time Around: Black Widow, the deadly assassin, shows her softer side. Not only does she fall for nebbish scientist-turned-rage-monster Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), but the enchantment placed on her by the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) brings up memories of her childhood training in Russia, the same training that left her a cold-blooded killer. (These scenes are niftily realized, giving director Joss Whedon a chance to indulge in his horror movie roots.) Like her fellow Avengers, these visions shake her to her core.
Will She Be Back? Yes! Not only will Black Widow turn up in next year’s superhero battle royale "Captain America: Civil War," but she will also appear in the two-part "Avengers: Infinity War," which kicks off in 2018.
