Upon rescuing Kamala from Monica and her secret AIM prison, Black Widow returns to the Avengers and boards the Chimera. Her room is just as she left it, and there are a number of goodies inside. Her weapons are laid out all over and her civilian disguises also get spotlighted if the player walks up to her wardrobe.
Potentially more ominous, though, is the callback to the Red Room, the Soviet assassin academy that trained Natasha before she defected to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Walk up to the room's table, and players will be able to interact with a musical box of a ballerina. Widow mentions something about her past, but the connection is clear. Each Widow agent was given false memories to better conceal their cover, and Natasha's revolved around professional ballet.
Could a future trip to the Red Room be on the cards? One can only hope.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
