Black Widow Movie 2020: Everything We Know
7. The Plot Is Under Wraps (But There Are Clues))
It's likely if one was to peruse Black Widow's personnel file, the important details would be redacted. The same thing can also be said about what happens in her first solo film as plot details still remain classified.
Scarlett Johansson has expressed interest in doing a movie mostly because she has such a strong connection to the character at this point. According to Variety, she mentioned wanting to delve into Widow's origins, as she believes there are a lot of opportunities to mine that storyline.
The character’s origin has been hinted at in visions Romanoff saw under the mind control of Scarlett Witch in Age of Ultron. They showed young girls being trained in deadly martial arts, and a young Natasha shooting somebody. This dark origin was also hinted at in an episode of Agent Carter.
The chances of this taking place before her debut in Iron Man 2 are very likely given that Marvel is doing the same thing for Captain Marvel, with that one being set in the ‘90s. With what little is known about her background, there seems to be a lot of interesting stories to explore on her journey to becoming an Avenger.
