Black Widow: the post-credits scene explained in detail

A gateway to the Disney Plus series, Hawkeye…

Updated November 27, 2023: TMC will rebroadcast this evening Black Widowthe solo film dedicated to the Marvel superhero who has been playing since Iron Man 2 (2010) by Scarlett Johansson. When it was released, we deciphered its post-credits scene, an essential MCU tradition. From, Mélanie Laurent told us in detail how she worked on this project, before Kevin Feige finally chose another director: Cate Shortland.

News of July 17, 2021: Will we ever see Natasha Romanoff again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Nothing is less sure. But his family of Soviet super-spies could still play a role. In any case, her sister Yelena will be present in Phase 4, as evidenced by the post-credits scene of Black Widow. Spoiler alert!

In fact, we see Florence Pugh after the events ofAvengers: Endgame. She is very much alive and she is paying her respects at the grave of Natasha, who died to defeat Thanos. But the emotional moment will be short-lived, interrupted by a new face: that of Julia Louis-Dreyfus !

The star of Veep And Seinfeld plays Val, Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. At the head of a dark and disturbing organization, she has come to offer Yelena an opportunity to take revenge on the man she believes responsible for her sister’s death: Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). For what ? Because in Endgame, it is Clint who is with her on the planet Vormir, on a mission to recover the soul stone. An infinity stone that requires a heartbreaking sacrifice. Each of the two friends is ready to give their lives and in the end, it is Natasha who dies, because Clint has a wife and children waiting for him at home…

In short, he obviously has nothing to do with it, but Yelena seems to believe that everything is his fault. Obviously pushed by Valentina, who obviously wants the archer dead. Why ? We don’t know anything yet, but we should have the answer in the series Hawkeye from Disney Plus, recently filmed.

Since the release of Black Widow on the big screen, this spin-off series has been broadcast on the streaming platform. Here are some details if you want to know more:

Hawkeye: when does the Marvel series take place in the MCU timeline? (excluded)

This new MCU spin-off for the small screen sees Jeremy Renner reprise his role to train a new protégé named Kate Bishop (played by Hailee Steinfeld). Even before the broadcast of Black Widowit was confirmed that Florence Pugh would also participate in the series.

Note that the mysterious Val was she has already appeared in the MCU. It was on Disney +, in the last episodes of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. She mainly appeared at the military trial of John Walker (Wyatt Russell), presenting herself to him as a benevolent patron. It will be noted that Black Widow was initially (before the pandemic) to be released in cinemas before the series Falcon and the Winter Soldier and this post-credits scene should therefore have been the one introducing Val into the Marvel Universe…

In any case, by recruiting the super-soldier Walker and the super-spy Yelena, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine could well be assembling a team of bad Avengers, like an anti-Nick Fury of which she is precisely the ex, in the comics… This spin-off idea has since been confirmed: all these secondary characters from the MCU should be reunited soon in The ThunderboltsAt the movie theater.

Only one Marvel film in 2024: Deadpool 3 is postponed by two months (Thunderbolts and Captain America 4 are postponed)
