In fact, she’s just one of the dozens throughout the picture. Her sister Yelena is rocking a catsuit and some of the same moves. By 15 mins into the film, it becomes clear that there are hundreds of operatives skulking around the shadows of this world, A.V. Club asked the director where all these lethal ladies came from. Shortland explained that Marvel did a global casting search to make sure that all regions were represented.

From these comments, you can see that Marvel meant business when it came to populating the Red Room for the Avenger’s big send-off.
