Yelena Belova stole the show for many people in ‘Black Widow’ (2021), mainly due to her wit and sarcasm. It’s apparent at times that this is Yelena’s escape from the fact that her life is traumatic and deeply sad. Her theme reflects this.

Lorne Balfe give Yelena a dark and somber theme, featuring choir vocals, piano and a more powerful action section. Yelena, after all, was the “greatest child-assassin the world has ever seen”.

I hope her theme returns in ‘Hawkeye’ and all future projects she appears in. I also hope her character comes to fit this dark and contemplative theme.


The songs used in this suite are:

A Sister Says Goodbye - Lorne Balfe
The Pursuit - Lorne Balfe
Yelena Belova - Lorne Balfe
