Black Widow movie costumes on display...

In 2021 Scarlett Johansson finally received her own solo Black Widow movie, spinning a deadly origin tale of intrigue and espionage for the Avenger and introducing us to her former Russian sleeper agent "family". In order to wipe the red from her ledger as an operative of the Red Room and free other mind-controlled Widows, 'Natasha Romanoff' teams up with her younger "sister" 'Yelena Belova' (Florence Pugh), her "mother" 'Melina Vostokoff' (Rachel Weisz) and her "father" the Soviet super-soldier 'Red Guardian' (David Harbour). They take on Ray Winstone's 'General Dreykov', the leader of the Red Room and his mimic agent assassin (and daughter), 'Taskmaster', to free the Widows and unravel his deadly web of global spies.

MCU aficionados are more familiar with the Black Widow's black suit, but for this mission she also sports a white suit, useful for stealthy operations in snowy environments.

Fans of the former-KGB assassin and Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. can also check out some of the previous Black Widow costumes from the other Avengers movies.

In the film David Harbour plays Natasha's fake father and they were all part of a family of undercover agents spying in America for Russia in the 1990s.

'Alexei Shostakov' aka Red Guardian was the Russian counterpart to Captain America and Natasha and Yelena spring their father-figure from the Seventh Circle Prison (who had fallen out of favour with his government) to help track down Dreykov's location.

The Marvel Comics character of Taskmaster is gender flipped and capeless in the movie and given a new identity, revealed to be 'Antonia Dreykov' (played by Olga Kurylenko), the daughter of the Red Room general. She was thought to have been killed by Natasha and 'Clint Barton" aka 'Hawkeye' when they bombed the older Dreykov's office in Budapest after defecting to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Gravely injured in the assassination attempt, her mind and body were controlled by a chip, which gave her uncanny photographic reflexes allowing her to mimic the fighting skills of her enemies.

This hooded Red Room assassin sports an assortment of weapons in the movie including bow and arrows, sword and shield.

Stay tuned for more super costumes on display at the temporary Art of Costume Design in Film exhibition, free to the public until June 4, 2022.
