Black Widow: Photos of Scarlett Johansson in Marvel film leak online

The first photos of Scarlett Johansson on the set of Marvel's forthcoming Black Widow movie have been posted online.

The scene, shot just in the woods just outside of London’s Pinewood studios, sees the eponymous hero walking and talking to someone on a mobile phone.

Scarlett Johansson's character, Natasha Romanova​, was also spotted approaching a Land Rover. Co-star O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid's Tale) was also spotted on set.

Black Widow is expected to take place before the events of the first Avengers film. Marvel and Disney have yet to confirm that Black Widow is currently filming, with the studios deciding to announce their "Phase Four" plans later in the year.

Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland, best known for Nazi drama Lore, has already come on board as director. The script has been penned by Captain Marvel’s Jac Schaeffer.

Florence Pugh has joined the cast, playing a spy on the same level as Natasha Romanoff who will be her “moral opposite”. Rachel Weisz and David Harbour are also on board the film.
