Harry Yoon and Angela M. Catanzaro serve as editors on the film. Yoon previously worked on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) and Beef.[34][67]
Marketing
After filming had begun in March 2024, Pugh and Marvel Studios released a set video in which she showcased her new Black Widow costume and an updated logo for the film with Schreier.[68][69] Kristen Lopez at TheWrap felt viewers would "start deconstructing the brief images she's shown immediately",[68] while Sabina Graves of Gizmodo felt the video was delightful and a fun tease for a scene featuring Belova. She highlighted Pugh's short hair and her joking with Schreier that they "really shouldn't be showing any of this".[69] Collider's Chris McPherson also discussed Pugh's costume, calling it "very military [and] quite tactical", and noted her teal eyeliner.[70]
