Black Widow: 12 Huge Rumours That Would Change Everything
10. Yelena Will Die
While Yelena and Florence Pugh may stick around in the MCU for some time, there is a contrary rumour floating around that the exact opposite will happen. The franchise is littered with characters who deserved more time to develop, and Yelena may well join this list.
With every poster, trailer, and TV spot, fans are combing through every second of footage to find clues about the upcoming movie, and many think the fate of Florence Pugh's character has already been spoiled thanks to Natasha's wardrobe.
In the trailer, while Natasha is sitting at the table with Alexei, Melina, and Yelena, it has been pointed out that the latter is wearing a vest very similar to that of Black Widow in Infinity War. This may be merely a coincidence, or it could be that Yelena perishes in Black Widow, leaving Nat to wear the vest in her honour.
Devastated by the loss of her 'sister', this kind of emotional distress would add another layer to Natasha's need to do good in the world, and could potentially fuel her insistence that she be the one to sacrifice herself on Vormir.
