Marvel Cinematic Universe: 10 New Rumours & Leaks You Need To Know
7. A Black Widow Solo Film Might Finally Be Happening
Something Marvel fans have been clamouring for since Phase One might finally be happening as movement on the Black Widow solo film front was recently reported.
According to The Wrap, The Blacklist screenwriter Jac Schaeffer has been hired to a pen a screenplay for the project, which will likely delve into Natasha Romanoff's shadowy origin story and see Scarlett Johansson reprise her role once again.
Word that the long-awaited Black Widow movie could be moving ahead is by no means confirmation that she will survive the events of Avengers 4. Many of Nat's most interesting stories potentially took place before SHIELD recruited her, like her time as a Russian spy and the events of Budapest.
There's a good chance the film will also include Hawkeye, given that his backstory intertwines with Romanoff's. Perhaps the movie will even be a team-up offering in the vein of Ant-Man and the Wasp. Black Widow and Hawkeye does have a nice ring to it.
