Black Widow
《黑寡妇》
Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff finally gets her own solo film, a decade after the Russian spy was introduced in Iron Man 2. Inconveniently, she was killed off in Avengers: Endgame, but Loki and Vision came back from the dead for their own TV series, so why shouldn't she?
在《钢铁侠2》中首次亮相后，斯嘉丽·约翰逊饰演的俄罗斯特工娜塔莎·罗曼诺夫终于有了自己的单人电影。不巧的是，她在《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》中已经领了盒饭，但是洛基和幻视都可以死而复生回来拍自己的电视剧，她为什么不能？
The excuse is that Black Widow is set at an earlier time just after Captain America: Civil War, to be exact. The Avengers have gone their separate ways, so Romanoff heads to Russia to reunite with the only family she has, three fellow secret agents played by Rachel Weisz, David Harbour and Florence Pugh. "It is unexpected, though, that Black Widow may be the least Avenger like movie in the series so far.
新片为娜塔莎找的理由是故事发生的时间更早，准确地说，就发生在《美国队长3：内战》的故事之后。当时复仇者们已经分道扬镳，罗曼诺夫也回俄罗斯去和自己仅有的“家人”团聚，也就是她的三个特工同事（分别由蕾切尔·薇姿、大卫·哈伯和弗洛伦丝·皮尤饰演）。BBC文化频道的卡琳·琼斯评价道：“令人意外的是，《黑寡妇》可能是迄今为止最不像复仇者系列的电影。
[The film] sets itself apart by emphasising Natasha's past, and her reunion with her fractured, drolly comic family." says BBC Culture's Caryn Jones.
这部影片将重心放在娜塔莎的过去，以及她和支离破碎的搞笑家庭团聚的故事上面。”
Released on 7 July in the UK and Ireland, 8 July in Australia, and 9 July in the US and Canada
该片将于7月7日在英国和爱尔兰上映，7月8日在澳大利亚上映，7月9日在美国和加拿大上映。
Stillwater
《静水城》
Loosely based on the Amanda Knox case, Stillwater stars a brawny, bearded, baseball capped Matt Damon as Bill Baker, an oil worker who lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
《静水城》的大致情节基于阿曼达·诺克斯谋杀案件。马特·达蒙在该片中饰演居住在美国俄克拉荷马州静水城的肌肉发达、留着大胡子、戴着棒球帽的石油工人比尔·贝克。
His estranged daughter (Abigail Breslin) is studying in Marseille when she is arrested and charged with the murder of her girlfriend. Bill moves there to fight for her release with the help of a local lawyer played by Camille Cottin.
和他关系疏远的女儿（阿比盖尔·布雷斯林饰演）在法国马赛读书期间突然被捕并被控谋杀女友。为了争取女儿被释放，比尔搬到了马赛，并得到了一名当地律师（卡米尔·科坦饰演）的帮助。
Released on 29 July in Australia and New Zealand, 30 July in the US and Canada, and 6 Aug in the UK and Ireland
该片将于7月29日在澳大利亚和新西兰上映，7月30日在美国和加拿大上映，8月6日在英国和爱尔兰上映。
The Green Knight
《绿衣骑士》
The Green Knight is quite possibly the only one of 2021's films to be based on a 14th Century poem. The monstrous Green Knight (Ralph Ineson) strides in and declares that anyone around the Round Table can strike him with an axe, as long as he can do the same to them in one year's time.
《绿衣骑士》很可能是2021年唯一一部基于14世纪诗歌的电影。可怕的绿衣骑士（拉尔夫·伊内森饰演）迈着大步闯进来，向圆桌骑士发起了挑战：有谁敢当场砍下他的头，并让他一年后回敬一斧。
King Arthur's nephew, Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), accepts the challenge and decapitates the giant intruder. But then the monster picks up his own head and strolls away. Written and directed by David Lowery (The Old Man & The Gun, A Ghost Story, Pete's Dragon), The Green Knight promises to be eerier, weirder but more personal than the average Hollywood fantasy.
亚瑟王的侄子高文爵士（戴夫·帕特尔饰演）接受了挑战并砍下了这个巨人的头。没想到巨人的躯体捡起了自己的头颅，就这么走掉了。大卫·洛维（执导过《老人与枪》、《鬼魅浮生》和《彼得的龙》）编剧和执导的《绿衣骑士》比典型的好莱坞奇幻电影更离奇更怪异，但却更人性化。
Released on 30 July in the US and Canada, and 6 Aug in the UK and Ireland
该片将于7月30日在美国和加拿大上映，8月6日在英国和爱尔兰上映。
Old
《老去》
The latest twisty chiller from M Night Shyalaman (The Sixth Sense) could be the exact opposite of a relaxing summer movie. Old features Gael Garcia Bernal and Vicky Krieps as a husband and wife who visit a secluded tropical beach with their children.
M·奈特·沙马兰（曾执导《第六感》）导演的这部情节曲折的最新恐怖片绝不是一部让人放松的夏日电影，恰恰相反。在电影《老去》中，盖尔·加西亚·贝纳尔和薇姬·克里普斯饰演的夫妇带着孩子们到一个人迹罕至的热带海滩游玩。
They're joined by several other holiday makers (Rufus Sewell, Abbey Lee), but they still can't understand why such an idyllic beauty spot isn't more popular. Then they find out. The beach is under a curse which causes everyone on it to age so quickly that they will shrivel up and die by the end of the day. The screenplay is adapted from Sandcastle, a French graphic novel by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, but the plot details have been kept under wraps. That's for the best. With Shyalaman's high concept mysteries, the less you know about what's to come, the better.
来这个海滩度假的还有另外几个人（卢夫斯·塞维尔、阿比·丽等人饰演）。但是这对夫妇不能理解这么恬静美丽的景点为什么人不多。然后他们发现了原因。这个海滩被诅咒了，海滩上所有人都会迅速衰老，一天之内就会衰老而死。该片剧本改编自皮埃尔·奥斯卡·列维和弗雷德里克·佩特斯所著的法国漫画小说《沙堡》，但是具体细节仍在保密之中。这样最好。看沙马兰的高概念玄幻电影，对情节知道得越少，观影感受越佳。
Released on 21 July in France,22 July in Australia, and 23 July in the UK, Ireland, US and Canada
该片将于7月21日在法国上映，7月22日在澳大利亚上映，7月23日在英国、爱尔兰、美国和加拿大上映。
