Trivia

1. Director Chloé Zhao was first considered to direct the film but chose Eternals (2021) instead.
2. This is David Harbour's third comic-book feature, after Suicide Squad (2016) and Hellboy (2019).
3. According to writer Eric Pearson, Florence Pugh teased Scarlett Johansson about Black Widow's iconic pose during filming, so Pearson put it in the film.
4. The film is set after Captain America: Civil War (2016), but before Avengers: Infinity War (2018). In the pre-credits scene, Natasha can be seen sporting the blond hair she had in Infinity War.
5. Scarlett Johansson describes the film as "Its own genre", and even named Logan (2017) as an influence along with The Fugitive (1993)', and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).
6. This film was supposed to kick off Phase Four, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the film's release from May 2020 to all the way to July 2021. The miniseries WandaVision (2021) kicked off Phase Four instead.
7. In prison at 53:48, Red Guardian shows tattoo on his right shoulder of two roses. The two Russian names underneath them translate to Natasha and Yelena.
8. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was supposed to make her first appearance as Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the film, but due to the Covid-related delays, she made her debut in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) instead. In the comics, Valentina was a high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, as well as a high-level HYDRA agent known as Madame Hydra.
