Every Marvel Movie Featuring Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff)

Black Widow made her debut in Iron Man 2. At first, Natasha posed as Tony Stark's new assistant, but she quickly turned out to be a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Johansson instantly stole the show with her fight scenes and mysterious presence. Though the film itself received mixed reviews, her character became an instant fan favorite.

In Marvel's first big team-up, Black Widow finally got more room to shine. Her interrogation scene at the start and her relationship with Hawkeye added extra depth. She was no longer a side character, but a full-fledged Avenger. Her popularity skyrocketed from this point on.

Perhaps her best performance. In this spy-thriller-flavored superhero story, Natasha teams up with Steve Rogers. The chemistry between Johansson and Chris Evans was strong and gave her character extra layers. The film was praised as one of the best Marvel films ever, thanks in part to its serious tone and strong script.

This sequel focused mainly on the team, but Black Widow also got a personal storyline. Her relationship with Bruce Banner drew mixed reactions: some found it interesting, others thought it felt forced.

Natasha was caught between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers during the conflict that split the Avengers in two. Her role as mediator made clear just how complicated her loyalties were. Civil War was a massive success and set the tone for the Marvel films to come.

Infinity War brought nearly every hero together against Thanos. Black Widow got less screen time, but her fight scenes and dynamic with Cap and Falcon left an impression. It was clear Natasha had become more and more of a core figure within the team.

Endgame marked Black Widow's emotional high point and farewell. Her sacrifice on Vormir, so the Avengers could retrieve the Soul Stone, was a heartbreaking moment. Many felt Natasha deserved more recognition for it, but her death showed just how much she was willing to give for the team.

After years of waiting, Natasha finally got her solo film. Black Widow takes place after the events of Civil War and explores her past. We meet her 'family,' including Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), who instantly became a fan favorite. Though the film released during the pandemic and earned less as a result, it was appreciated as a tribute to Natasha. Some felt it came too late, but Johansson gave it her all one more time.
