Black Widow: 8 Characters That Should Appear

4. Bruce Banner

Let's face it: The love story between Nat and Bruce Banner introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron is often regarded as one of that film's weakest decisions. While the MCU has since downplayed it over the years, it also wisely hasn't pretended that it never existed at all, with Banner devastated following her death in Endgame.

As we saw in Infinity War, Thanos snapping his fingers allowed him to talk to a younger Gamora in the Soulworld, and a scene cut from Endgame even featured Tony Stark talking with an older version of his daughter Morgan. And, of course, there was Professor Hulk's snap, though we've been left to wonder if he, like Thanos, was given the chance to go to the Soulworld.

Considering that this could very well be our last outing with Nat in the MCU, with the torch passed on to, say, Yelena to become the new Black Widow, a post-credit scene following Hulk's snap would be a fantastic way to give both Banner and fans closure with Nat in the Soulworld. Even if this isn't Nat's final film and we get further adventures set in the past (or even a new iteration of the character via the Multiverse), it'd still serve to directly acknowledge the fact her inevitable sacrifice is lingering over the film while still giving Banner and Nat a goodbye with one another.
