As nice as it would have been, the scissoring scene between the Widows must have been left on the cutting room floor..
Jokes aside, there's not even a little hint of anything sexual in the entire film, though the topic of manipulating vulnerable young women is uncomfortable but would probably fly past the radar of a young kid. It's pretty violent for a 5 year old though I'd say, I mean Pacific Rim is fine because it's giant robots vs giant monsters but this is mostly women punching each other in the face and killing one another...
As for the language, I didn't see it in english but there didn't seem to be anything very vulgar or shocking in the entire film, MCU films are generally rather tame in that regard (mewling quim aside).

That will be the movies greatest problem. It will probably get buried in the rest of the MCU movies going forward in Phase 5. I'm assuming the payoff will come in Disney+ series which have been hit or miss. I think people will enjoy it upon TV release and you can watch it in its proper place a few years from now. For the immediate future, it will be less and less remembered as new movies come out.

Unless your kid is a fan of Black Widow specifically I doubt it will hold their attention or be able to understand what’s going on. My kid was that way with all of the MCU stuff we tried when he was five with the exception of Spiderverse.

Movie was pretty garbage. Pretty lame attempts at humor were sadly the best part. It ain't no Thor 3. Just shoehorn another minor character to replace her barf. Ending scene is the entire point of the movie other than that. Just give me a full movie with Julie Louis Dreyfus already, hopefully it'll be better than this trash.

This movie SHOULD have been made just after civil war. I mean, that is when the movie happens in the timeline even the end credit could have been in it with everyone going wtf immediately after.

scarjo was one of 5 executive producers. kevin fiege is listed as "producer" but there's no way she had more say than he did. i think about it like when you let one of your kids sit at the grown-ups table for thanksgiving. i guarentee you that's how everyone else thought of it.

the whole plot revolves around the red room, which is basically exactly what you expect it would be: turning young girls into super spies. there is INCREDIBLY subtle hints that some creepy sexual stuff going on, but it's less like the movie is hinting at it, and more that the movie isn't dissuading you from thinking that if you know anything about russian spy training.
the only overtly sexual thing in the movie is a single line from red guardian.
when he gets out of jail, he goes to rachel weisz's character and they flirt a little, he tells her that he just got out of prison and has "a lot of energy" but the conversation is IMMEDIATELY broken up by other characters

Also Stature (Cassie Lang, Ant Man movies), Patriot (Isiah Bradley, F&WS), and we're probably building up to Red Hulk for Thunderbolts w/ the referenced health issues of Thunderbolt Ross.

as someone said violence of women vs women and in a few instances a guy punching out a chick would be an issue for me. Also there is a long scene about involuntary hysterectomies, the Red Room/Widow program as its known in comic lore sterilizes all its female assassins so pregnancy isn't an issue, I don't think a 5 year old would really understand it but it could lead to some sad explaining at that age if they are curious about it. No sex/nudity/hints about it, minor swearing (shit), you rarely see blood, most violence is against vehicles.
Overall I'd say Wonder Woman/84 are better for girls in the 4-7 year range and maybe 8+ for BW. Dunno if young girls would like WandaVision
