While the Red Guardian and Black Widow are married in the comics, their relationship is different in the live-action Marvel film. In a new interview, David Harbour (who plays Alexei Shostakov in Black Widow) reveals his connection to Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff:
“Now, the connection to him and Black Widow is that they were set up as a spy family in America in the ’90s. So, Rachel Weisz’s character, Melina, was sort of the mom, Alexei was the dad and Natasha and Yelena were their little kids. We see that in the beginning of the movie, and they sort of function as a family.”
Harbour continued:
“And when we pick up, Alexei’s had this deep knowledge of Natasha in a certain way that no one else had when she was a kid. He took her from the Red Room and also put her back into the Red Room because he believed in this cause.”
Are you looking forward to Black Widow – which will hit theaters [hopefully] May 7, 2021?
