Review: 'Black Widow' is a satisfying detour for Marvel

"Black Widow" is as close to a one-off as Marvel gets. Set between 2016's "Captain America: Civil War" and 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War," it doesn't have any grander, universal purpose to the franchise's overarching aims than giving Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (who perished in "Endgame"), a proper sendoff.
