Black Widow, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film since 2019, has finally hit the big screen after its release was delayed for a year by the pandemic.
But how can there be a movie about a character that died in Avengers: Endgame?
While this movie marks the start of the MCU's phase four, it actually slots into the timeline before Natasha Romanoff's story literally jumped off a cliff.
Here's a spoiler-free guide to what you need to know about the Black Widow movie.
How can you watch Black Widow?
Black Widow is screening now in cinemas in Australia and will be available on streaming service Disney+ on Friday, July 9 for a once-off fee.
The movie has a running time of two hours and 15 minutes and is rated M in Australia.
What is Black Widow about?
Black Widow is the origin story of Russian spy turned Avenger, Natasha Romanoff.
It reveals how she became the Black Widow, how she turned to the West and, for persistent MCU fans, what exactly happened in Budapest.
Scarlett Johansson returns in her titular role as Black Widow, a character that first appeared as a SHIELD agent in Iron Man 2.
Joining the MCU is Little Women and Midsommar actress Florence Pugh as Yelena and Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz as Melina.
David Harbour of Stranger Things stars as Alexei/the Red Guardian.
Does Black Widow have a post-credit scene?
Yes, Black Widow has a post-credit scene and it's worth sticking around to watch (or fast forward to if you're streaming at home).
Every Marvel movie has a scene after the credits except for Avengers: Endgame.

)Where does Black Widow fit into the timeline?
The events in the Black Widow movie happen between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.
It reveals what Natasha Romanoff was up to after the Avengers split up over the Sokovia Accords.
Don't worry if you haven't seen those movies or if it's been a long time since you watched them.
Black Widow is a good standalone movie that explores the Romanoff's backstory without dipping into too much of the Marvel lore.
Is Black Widow a good movie?
Reviews of Black Widow have been largely positive and fans seem pleased with the respect the movie gives the character Natasha Romanoff.
There has been particular praise the strong performances of the core cast, particularly Florence Pugh.
The themes of the movie, which focus heavily on the power and powerlessness of women, also set it apart from being just another superhero action movie.
ABC Arts writer Luke Goodsell reviewed the movie as "perhaps the most overtly feminist of the Marvel films to date".
"Packed with lively set pieces, amusing performances and the occasional heavier theme, it's an action thriller that also manages to be an ode to sisterhood and the chaos of atypical families, with much of the usual business of franchise-building mercifully pushed into the background."
