9 Fan Service Moments Everyone Wants In Upcoming Movies
5. What DID Happen In Budapest? - Black Widow
The character of Black Widow has had a rather turbulent turn in the MCU, with most of her character development and backstory beyond her childhood in the 'red room' espionage training program being left undisclosed. A hard-nosed yet empathetic and cool-headed member of the original six Avengers, it's a shame that the powerful death of Natasha Romanoff as seen in Avengers: Endgame was the most interesting thing to happen to the character on-screen since her debut in Iron Man 2.
However, this isn't to say that the character has no interesting backstory to explore- one of the most enduring running gags in the MCU, shared between Black Widow and fellow SHIELD agent/partner/BFF Hawkeye, concerns the details of a still-mysterious mission that occurred in Budapest.
A long-standing and subtly off-handed gag that has taken on a life of its own in the minds of fans, the exact goings-on of what happened back in Budapest has been a well of theories and speculation. A perfect opportunity to, albeit posthumously, expand upon the history of a criminally underutilised character and please longtime fans of the Black Widow.
