Scarlett Johansson was once again sporting her signature red tresses, as filming for the Black Widow solo movie began at Pinewood Studios.

The Hollywood star, 34, had returned to the iconic look to shoot the first scenes on a forest set, despite the film being yet to confirm a release date.

It comes as it was seemingly confirmed that Black Widow would be a prequel to the Avengers series, as the former SHIELD agent Natasha Romanoff met a tragic fate in the epic Endgame.

As Scarlett arrived on set she was sporting a casual look to film the woodland scenes, with her newly-dyed hair pulled into a half-up half-down style.

The Handmaid's Tale star O. T. Fagbenle, 38, was also seen chatting to other crew members on the set.
