It's been largely expected, although not explicitly confirmed, that the Black Widow solo film would be a prequel. After all, that's where the most interesting and intriguing stuff we've heard about it exists: Budapest, the red in her ledger, and so on.

Not only does Black Widow die in the movie, but they make it very clear that her death cannot be reversed, which means that her solo movie absolutely HAS to be a prequel. But there are also a couple of nods as to what we might discover.

Clint and Natasha once again reminisce about the old times, something that could be explored further, and there's a mention of her father too. Nat claims she didn't know him, but it's a lingering tease that is designed to be built upon at a later date.
