Kevin Feige On Setting Up A Legacy
"There is large part of Natasha's life that we didn't know about -- the time between Civil War & Infinity War. We wanted to touch on that and give a hint at the legacy of the future."

NATASHA & YELENA
Natasha & Yelena
When asked about why this movie stands out, Florence Pugh says it is a story of "two sisters having so much fun together amongst all the pain that they shared." Their chemistry is nearly unmatched in the MCU.

“
What I like about Melina is that she has absolutely no sense of humor. Like NONE. Which makes her quite funny sometimes.."
- Rachel Weisz on her character, Melina
Natasha's Fate
Scarlett Johansson admits that knowing where Natasha’s story ends up had an impact on how she played her in this movie. The first time Black Widow was discussed as a real possibility was during the filming of Infinity War, and at that point Natasha’s fate was sealed....
Because of this, Marvel had to work backwards, getting Natasha to a place where she would mentally be OK with sacrificing herself for the greater good. That moment in Avengers: Endgame only works if she is in a good place, and is OK with giving up her life in order to save the universe.
"Natasha is alone for the first time. She's always been a part of something starting out with being a victim of the Red Room, joining SHEILD, and then the Avengers. Suddenly she finds herself in this in between place and she's off her game." - Scarlett Johansson
Fighting Styles
Viewers might notice that Natasha's fighting style changes a bit in this movie. Director Cate Shortland explains that is because Taskmaster can duplicate her every move. She ends up getting into more of a street fighting style throughout the film.
“
I love Anthony Mackie as an actor and now that he's wearing the Cap suit -- Alexei hates that guy. That would be fun."
- David Harbour on who he would like to see Red Guardian team up with
