Marvel Comics artists, Phil Noto and Peach Momoko, have created printable Black Widow Blu-ray covers to celebrate the film’s home release. Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Phase 1. After years of calls for a solo movie, Black Widow kicked off Phase 4 films, debuting in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access on July 9th. In its first weekend, the film earned $60 million through the streaming service and brought in $80 million at the domestic box office. Black Widow then swiftly became available on Digital VOD on August 10th and was released on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 14th.

Having sacrificed herself in Avengers: Endgame (2019), Black Widow takes place between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. After violating the Sokovia Accords, a fugitive Natasha receives a package from her surrogate sister and fellow Red Room trainee, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), which leads to her reconciling her past and wiping some red off her ledger by taking down General Dreykov and the Red Room. The film also introduces several new characters in Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz), Russia’s version of Captain America in Red Guardian (David Harbour), and the enigmatic villain, Taskmaster.

While the overwhelming success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as well as Johansson’s lawsuit against Disney, has largely overshadowed Black Widow, there’s still plenty of reasons to add the film to one’s home collection. Considering how long it took for Black Widow to become a reality, and what it means for the character of Natasha Romanoff, owning a copy of the Blu-ray feels like a must for die-hard MCU fans. Its bonus features include bloopers, featurettes, and nine deleted scenes—which feature more of Secretary Ross (William Hurt), Mason (O-T Fagbenle), and an alternate final scene.

Momoko’s cover subtly highlights the relationship between Natasha and Yelena, the latter of which will return in Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye series and is poised to inherit the mantle of Black Widow. Natasha and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) were the only founding Avengers without their own solo outing. In many ways, the Hawkeye series feels like an extension of the same sentiment, making up for lost time. If it wasn’t certain before, recent news has cemented the finality of Johansson’s Black Widow. So, print off some artwork and make it all the more memorable.
