YouTube has several trailers with different names and different thumbnails from the one Mike posted, but this one doesn't start off the same, so I'm hoping the one below is a different one.

IMDB says the expected release date is May 1, 2020.

The cast list includes this:

Robert Downey Jr. ... Tony Stark (rumored)

So, we might see Tony, but he retired Iron Man, didn't he? )Well, you never really know, huh?) Then again, this appears to be a prequel. IMDB describes the plot this way.
_________________________________________

At birth the Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanova) is given to the KGB, which grooms her to become its ultimate operative. When the U.S.S.R. breaks up, the government tries to kill her as the action moves to present-day New York, where she is a freelance operative. The standalone film will find Romanoff living in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union.

But that raises the question of how they'll make Robert Downey Jr. look young again. CGI maybe? That's getting popular these days.

And on that subject, the lovely Scarlett Johansson is only 35 and still stopping traffic with that gorgeous face, so I guess she'll have no trouble looking like she did in 2006 (when she was 22 years old). The Soviet Union fell on December 26, 1991, so "15 years after the fall . . . " would be 2006.

The cast also includes Rachel Weisz as "Melina Vostokoff". Miss Weisz playing a Russian with her lovely British accent seems odd, but she is after all actress, so she'll pull if off (I hope).

But Rachel is 14 years older than Scarlett, and when I saw her in Fred Claus (2007) recently, I was a bit surprised by the fact that she didn't seem quite as attractive as she did in The Mummy Returns, and that was just six years earlier.

But heck, she's 49 years old now, and looking fairly good for her age, I reckon.
