Black Widow marks the first big screen solo adventure for Natasha Romanoff. The former spy and Avenger – played by Scarlet Johnasson – has appeared as a guest star/ensemble character in Marvel movies since 2010, but in 2021 she is finally getting her own film.
The Black Widow movie will focus on an as-yet untold tale from Romanoff’s past, which takes place prior to the events of Avengers: Infinity War/Avengers: Endgame. It will provide further details about her character, as well as the heroes and villains she interacts with.
So, what do you do if you want to follow Natasha’s story through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while including the Black Widow movie in the mix? Well, if that’s the case, then you need a list of all the Marvel movies that have featured Natasha Romanoff – like the list below – which set out a clear timeline for you to follow.

*Please note: Black Widow’s appearance in Captain Marvel is very brief and takes place during a mid-credit scene at the end of the movie. Unless you are desperate to see a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance (which is all it is), you can skip this movie, or you can just fast-forward to the credits.
