Black Widow Scarlett Johansson had already starred in a drama with a tall franchise leading man in Marriage Story, and now her successor of the BW mantle Florence Pugh is also going that route with A24’s We Live in Time.
The movie is set to come out this fall, and the first trailer just dropped. Check this out:
Here’s the official synopsis:
An up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcée find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together, in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.
The film’s director John Crowley is best known for his work on the film Brooklyn which came out way back in 2015. Funny thing about that movie is that it stars Saoirse Ronan—who plays Pugh’s sister in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women.
No doubt Pugh and Garfield are massive talents and getting them together for a project is definitely going to draw some eyes. It’s funny that the movie should bring together two spider-themed Marvel characters. A lot of people online are already making fun of how the movie is going to be the second time we get to watch Garfield see his blonde lover die.
Either way, the film looks fantastic, and if we can get a performance on par with Johansson in Marriage Story from Pugh, then the Black Widow mantle will mean more than just ‘severely underutilized actress in Marvel Universe’.
We Live in Time is set to release in theatres on Oct. 17.
