Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross
As the trailer moves a bit, we get a glimpse of a young General Ross, who is said to be De-aged by CGI. With that, the scene seems like it is from her past life, before becoming an Avenger. Ross appeared in a number of Marvel films such as The Incredible Hulk and Captain America: Civil War.
Yelena Belova
The first new face that was seen in the trailer was Yelena Belova also known as Black Widow. Yes, she has the same name as Natasha. This is because she is a product of the same training program that Natasha went through with the KGB. Yelena is actually her successor to the Black Widow mantle. Natasha calls her 'sis', but she is not her actual sister. It is said to be a term that the Black Widow trainees used to refer to each other. Florence Pugh plays it.
