Taking to Twitter, the reviews have been hugely positive, with viewers particularly praising Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova in the movie. One person wrote: “Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh shine, aided by a fun performance from David Harbour. Things go a little wild in Act 3 and the VFX are sometimes not stellar but there's heart, humour, depth, action, weight, and answers. A great, grounded solo hero film.

Scarlett shines, Florence Pugh is a superstar. If you love Natasha, you’ll love this film,” while a third tweeted: “I love Scarlett Johansson, but OMG Florence Pugh in #BlackWidow is brilliant. Every line was pure genius. A scene-stealer.”
Florence stars in the upcoming film
Speaking about Florence’s upcoming appearance in the Hawkeye series, another person wrote: “Marvel Studios #BlackWidow is the best MCU solo film one and of the best CBMs I've ever seen. Scarlett Johansson gives one of the best performances of her career. Florence Pugh’s #YelenaBelova is great as well, can’t wait to see more of her in Hawkeye.”
