Cast
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow:
An Avenger, highly trained former-KGB assassin and former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Johansson described the film as an opportunity to show the character as "a woman who has come into her own and is making independent and active choices for herself",while being in a "dark place where she's got no one to call and nowhere to go. Ever Anderson portrays a young Natasha Romanoff.Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova / Black Widow:

And he’s not the heroic, noble man that [people] want him to be. He both comically and tragically has a lot of flaws".Discussions between Harbour and Shortland for the portrayal of Shostakov centered on Ricky Gervais' performance in The Office and Philip Seymour Hoffman's in The Savages, "comedy that comes out of real domestic need".62O-T Fagbenle as Rick Mason: An ally from Romanoff's S.H.I.E.L.D. past who is romantically interested in her.[8]William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross: The United States Secretary of State and a former U.S. Army general.Ray Winstone as Dreykov: The head of the Red Room.Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostokoff / Black Widow:
