What the ‘Black Widow’ post-credits scene hints about the future of the MCU
LA TimesWarning: This article discusses the plot and final scenes of Marvel’s “Black Widow.” “Black Widow” takes place between the events of “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War,” but the film’s post-credits scene brings us back to present day with a heart-wrenching visit to Natasha Romanoff’s grave. Natasha’s “sister” Yelena barely has a moment to grieve before she’s joined by Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine who — due to the pandemic’s reshuffling of Marvel’s release schedule — previously made her debut in the penultimate episode of the Disney+ series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” The Contessa is a Nick Fury-esque figure shrouded in mystery who appears to be collecting skilled fighters with ties to former Avengers, including former Captain America, U.S. With the new post-”Endgame” phase of the Marvel Universe now in full effect, De Fontaine’s appearance seems to presage a team of antiheroes, perhaps an Avengers-offshoot, much like Fury’s initial introduction in the post-credits scene of “Iron Man”. It’s also a perfect segue into the upcoming “Hawkeye” Disney+ series, which will also introduce the character Kate Bishop, a wealthy teenager who learns archery after she is brutally attacked.
