That means it’s also time to dig into the secrets revealed, including details of Natasha’s history.
Now, Natasha is on her own, since warning Tony Stark he should watch his back.
That time in Budapest
The answer came in the shot before with the Liberty Statue in Budapest.

Say it with us: Flashback!
Ross’s history is entangled with that of the super soldier serum.
That’s what he was up to before rising through the ranks of the armed forces.

Little “sis”
“I’m done running from my past.”
Natasha’s past includes Yelena, played by the fiercely talentedFlorence Pugh(Midsommar,Little Women).
Yelena, like Natasha, was trained in the ways of the Black Widow assassins.
Marvel Studios
This seems to be from the same flashback sequence that brought us a younger General Ross.
A white knight
“We have to go back to where it all started.”
Team Natasha infiltrate some secret facility, and black suits just don’t blend in with snow.
Marvel Studios
Assassin school
Yelena isn’t exactly psyched to go back to their old stomping grounds.
It’s the place where Natasha was forcibly sterilized, for one.
For another, it’s where all their other “sisters” were trained.
‘Black Widow’.Marvel Studios
Up for the task
Amid all the nefarious, mysterious forces at play, up rises Taskmaster.
(Another “mirror” of sorts.)
Malena
Rachel Weisz(The Favourite) once described Malena as “a pretty tough chick.”
Marvel Studios
Here, we see her with her own Black Widow ensemble, complete with batons strapped to her back.
Shes quite a seasoned spy and assassin, Weisz added.
Really, though, he’s playing Red Guardian.
Marvel Studios
You may notice a similarity between Harbour’s costume andChris Evans' Cap digs.
That’s because Red Guardian was the Soviets' effort to create their own super soldier.
Is this the “scientific experiment” Weisz was referencing?
Marvel Studios
Is this plot also wrapped up in that Ross flashback?
Natasha’s own mini Avengers team.
She’s not wearing her white suit, so it looks like a different sequence.
Marvel Studios
But the bad guys are the same.
As they say in the MCU, it’s all connected.
