I thought it was actually very good, though it does lose something because Natasha is already dead. Like watching a ghost :worry:. It should really have been released when it's set; between Civil War and Infinity War. Should have come after Black Panther. The next time I do a "full MCU rewatch" I'll probably do chronological order and that's where I'll place it.



To be fair the film is pretty anti-Russian :umm2:

Ther s the possibility that they'll just retcon her fake accent and not reference her being Russian; they rarely did with Black Widow.

And there's precedent for the accent switch. Scarlet Witches' Eastern European accent all but vanished after Age of Ultron.
