Hawkeye: Yelena's Unused Black Widow Costume Had A Perfect Natasha Tribute
Yelena Belova returned in the TV series Hawkeye, and her costume almost had a perfect tribute to her “sister”, Natasha Romanoff. With the Infinity Saga now over, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is moving forward with its Phase 4, which covers both movies and TV shows. Another thing that Phase 4 has done differently is reuniting viewers with a deceased character, and it did so in Black Widow. Natasha Romanoff’s (Scarlett Johansson) first solo movie arrived to answer some questions about her past, give proper closure to her arc, and introduce new characters, most notably Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh).
Set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Black Widow followed Natasha as she was on the run right after the Civil War conflict. Natasha returned to Russia, where she reunited with her “family”: Yelena, Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz). Once there, she came across a mysterious villain known as Taskmaster, and bringing them down led her to confront the demons of her and Yelena’s past. The ending of Black Widow sets Yelena up for her next adventure, bringing her back in the TV series Hawkeye.
