"Natasha runs to escape the accords and heads to Budapest to retrieve the "Foxcharge," which is a sort of clean slate digital eraser that gets rid of your prints, face, DNA in any government databases. Super spy McGuffin.

she finds Yelena there who has been assigned to kill her. Yelena didn't know she would be the target, and backs off after a playful fight. The family dynamic between them and Alexei, who they break out of a gulag, is very strong and fun throughout.

The plot basically has 3 threads, getting Foxcharge, Nat being chased by every government, and stopping "Melina", who eventually suits up as a revamped Iron Maiden in a suit very akin to Matt LeBlanc's in Lost in Space, from reactivating the Black Widow program.

Natasha, Yelena, Red Guardian and her old partner/lover Mason have to sneak across borders and fight all the remaining Black Widows who get sent after them.

Taskmaster always seems to know where they will be. The film makes you think all of her allies could be him. He is able to perfectly mirror all the combat styles. Has a memorable fight with Red Guardian. a dirty bar fight version of Cap vs Cap in Endgame.

He has a tank/mobile command center that drives itself. Think Idris Elba's badass motorcycle in Hobbs and Shaw. This is gonna steal the show in the same way.

The Arc of the film is very much this wild world calling Natasha back to it, and her trying to get her family out of it.

Mason is revealed to be Taskmaster and kills Red Guardian in front of Natasha and Yelena during a climatic fight between all of them and Melina. The remaining Black Widows turn on Iron Maiden and she ends up locked in the red room torture chamber to get her justice.

Yelena kills Taskmaster by shooting him through his broken mask as he is about to kill Natasha. Nat is pissed but understands and gives Yelena the Foxcharge so she can disappear. Nat says she has unfinished business. the movie ends with her meeting up with Falcon and Cap in Italy"
