After Marvel teased the return of Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) in Hawkeye, fans waited for her return with bated breath. It addressed Hawkeye's (Jeremy Renner) close friendship with Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) through Yelena's return. The post-credit scene in Black Widow had hinted at Yelena being led to believe that Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, was the reason behind her sister Natasha's death. She now had him in her sight, and soon enough, she was expected to re-appear.

Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) had handed Yelena a picture of Barton in the post-credit scene. She informed that Clint was her next target and information regarding Natasha's death was expected to push Yelena into working harder on this target.
