Black Widow Review Is It Worth The Wait The Direct

19 months after its first teaser trailer debuted, Black Widow has finally made its way to theaters. The Scarlett Johansson-led solo flick has been through the wringer, to say the least.

Although a species may be “extinct in the wild,” the species is not considered extinct until every individual—regardless of location, captivity, or ability to breed—has perished.
