David Harbour will be playing a pivotal role in Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow film! After all the superheroes from Marvel received a standalone film, it is Black Widow's time to shine! Perhaps the success of Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, cashing in on all the fame of Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow seems like a fair bet. While Scar Jo will be reprising her role as the protagonist, the filmmakers have also roped in Florence Pugh and David Harbour.

Reports state that there is no further update on all the details of Harbour's role in the film. In fact, there is word that evem Rachel Weisz will be part of the film. Again, details of whether they will play Romanoff's alias or antagonist is not clear. But we are hoping that whatever may the case be, they will do a pretty good job! From what we understand, the plot of the film has been kept under the wraps as Marvel doesn't want to leak information. However, perhaps our assumption is that the plot could be about how Black Widow started off as a spy and assassin, how she ventured into being trained by the KGB, only to eventually become an agent of SHIELD and then the avenger.

Directed by Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland, the script is being written by Jac Shaeffer. We'll be seeing David Harbour next in Hellboy, which is slated to release in April. Apart from it, he will also be seen alongside Chris Hemsworth in Dhaka, a Netflix project.
