Synopsis
On the run and forced to confront her past, a former assassin reunites with her makeshift family to take down a secretive global threat.
Review
Gritty, emotionally honest, and driven by sharp character writing. The found-family dynamic adds real depth, and the film reframes a long-underused character with sincerity and care. It may have arrived too late in the timeline, but it lands with surprising weight.
This movie is part of our complete MCU retrospective.
