Listen to That Haunting Cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" From BLACK WIDOW

Marvel’s Black Widow movie opening is unlike any other Marvel movie that has been made and it was accompanied by a wonderful and haunting cover of Nirvana's classic song "Smells Like Teen Spirit." That cover came from artist Malia J, and it perfectly set the tone of the film.

Malia J talked about how the cover of the song came to be in the film in an interview with Consequence saying, "We honestly thought it was a joke and didn't immediately respond. A different version of this cover has been circulating in the TV/film industry since 2015, and I can only speculate that someone from their camp was a fan and wanted to put it in the movie!"

As you might image, she was "absolutely thrilled" when Marvel requested to use her version of the iconic Nirvana track to open Black Widow. "I found out during the pandemic, and the news lifted my spirits up during such a dark time. I had no idea this song would end up being in a Marvel film, let alone the opening credits. I am such a fan of Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh — to be a part of something they are involved with is a dream come true."

I love this cover of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and you can listen to it below.
