In the scene, Yelena (Florence Pugh) pulls up in a truck with a dog, parking in a bucolic, woodsy setting. She walks up to a grave, and we see that it’s Natasha’s — we’ve jumped from the events of “Black Widow” (which took place between 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War” and 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War”) to some point after the events of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” when Natasha sacrificed her life so the Avengers could acquire the Soul Stone.

The scene sets up, in other words, Yelena resuming her MCU journey later this year on the TV show “Hawkeye” when it premieres on Disney Plus.

Pugh and Shortland spoke with Variety about how the scene came together, and how Johansson’s presence was felt even though she wasn’t there.
