'Avengers Confidential' Offers Black Widow Some Time in the Spotlight
Avengers fans who had been asking for a movie that spotlights the Black Widow and -- unlike the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier -- actually features her name in the title can take some solace in the newly-announced Marvel animated movie, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher.
Teaming the SHIELD agent (voiced by Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter) with the urban vigilante Frank Castle -- AKA the Punisher (as voiced by Brian Bloom) -- to stop a terrorist organization known only as "Leviathan," the animated movie also features appearances from the rest of the cinematic Avengers alongside the comic book Captain Marvel.
