Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova pokes fun at Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff in a new clip from Black Widow.
In the scene, which premiered during a new episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the pair of Black Widows appear to be grabbing snacks at a gas station when Yelena asks, "Why do you always do that thing?" When Natasha responds by asking what she's talking about, Yelena explains, "That thing you do when you're fighting." She then proceeds to imitate Natasha's fighting stance while whipping her hair back and forth and calling Natasha a "poser."
Pugh's appearance on Live! followed appearances by her Black Widow co-stars David Harbour and Rachel Weisz earlier in the week. During her interview with Kimmel, Weisz confirmed that her character's full name is "Melina Vostokkoff" and described her as a Black Widow spy and scientist.
The teaser follows the recent release of a Black Widow mini-trailer, which showed Natasha and her Red Room "family" taking on the villainous Taskmaster. The "Playmaker" trailer opened with footage of Natasha being hunted by Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) and several armed soldiers before declaring that she's "done running from my past." The trailer also featured footage from Natasha's previous appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with new scenes of Natasha fighting alongside Yelena Belova, Melina Vostokoff and Alexei Shostakov.
In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger.
Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, O-T Fagbenle as Mason and Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostokoff. The film arrives in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access July 9.
