MCU Phase 4: 9 Reasons To Be Excited About Black Widow
6. It Could Involve The Winter Soldier
Sebastian Stan, who portrays Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier, has said he'd love to see his character in Black Widow because of the history their characters share.
He said: “They have a nice history in my opinion. It’s very intricate… the truth is, he actually taught her in the comic books. He was a teacher to her. It’s all set during a specific, interesting time, the Cold War.”
Stan also set up what could be the tone and atmosphere for the film, adding “It’s all a very spy, thrillerish, noirish story. I would love if they do that.”
This is an idea that could work really well considering Natasha and Bucky are good friends with a past (and romance) that’s worth exploring. In Captain America: Civil War, we know that he shot her and this might not be the only past they have, especially as she says to him: “You could at least recognise me.”
