Scarlett Johansson's 'Black Widow' is one of the most-awaited films of the year and there has been an ample number of plot leaks leading up to the film.

The latest leak reveals the action in the film's credit scenes and it is reportedly a major twist in MCU's Phase 4. According to a report by BGR, the prequel offers a new Natasha Romanoff, a side and a shade that we've haven't seen or witnessed so far. 

While we aren't spoiling 'Black Widow' irrespective of the leaks being true or not, what we do have is information from the prelude comic that may not really divulge a lot of information about the film.

However, what it does is establish that councilwoman Hawley (Jenny Agutter) plays a bit more of a crucial role by being interested in Romanoff's profile.

While Hawley made a minor appearance in 'The Avengers', her character gained prominence when she was impersonated by Romanoff in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'. 

Peter David's prelude starts off with Hawley looking at the footage of events from 'The Winter Soldier' where Romanoff takes down Alexander Pierce, a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D official and a member of the World Security Council (played by Robert Redford in the film). 

She discusses Romanoff's relationship with the Avengers, the time she sides Tony Stark during 'Captain America: Civil War', but ends up supporting Steve Rogers. And all the while, Hawley still feels something about the spy doesn't add up.

The official synopsis reads: "In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller 'Black Widow,' Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises."

"Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger," the synopsis adds.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, 'Black Widow' is the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

'Black Widow' debuts in cinemas on May 1.
