Black Widow: 10 Huge Questions We Still Have

10. What Happened In Budapest?

Not only is this one of the biggest questions heading into Black Widow, it is one of the longest standing questions throughout the entire MCU. First alluded to in Avengers Assemble all the way back in 2012, Marvel Studios have never elaborated on what actually happened between Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton in Budapest.

We can certainly piece together a rough picture based on a few puzzle pieces picked up over the years. Clint was sent to kill Natasha but had a change of heart, and ended up saving her from her previous life and putting her on a different, better path.

The conversation between the two in Endgame about how far they've come since Budapest seems to suggest that Hungary was the first time they had ever met. Why then would Hawkeye choose not to complete his mission? And why would Natasha even listen to the stranger sent to kill her?

It's been eight long years, but Black Widow in 2020 seems to be when we will finally learn how the titular character came to get so much red in her ledger.
