Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher

Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher (2014) is a feature-length Marvel action anime you can watch online on iFILM. A spy and a vigilante with zero reason to trust each other are forced to fight side by side.

When the Punisher takes down a black-market arms dealer, he trips over a far bigger scheme run by a terror group called Leviathan, which plans to sell stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. tech to the highest bidder. Nick Fury reins in the loose-cannon avenger by putting him under Black Widow's command, and the mismatched pair head out on a mission where the fate of the Avengers and the wider world is on the line. A Japanese studio renders Marvel its own way: hard gunfights and close-quarters brawls drawn with anime speed and line work rather than the usual American-comic look.

Eighty-three minutes of lean action with no slow build. It's for anyone who wants familiar Marvel faces seen from a different, Japanese angle, and who enjoys a duo where a spy's cold calculation grinds against a loner's rage. Stream Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher online on iFILM.
