3. We Will Meet Black Widow’s True Nemesis

Before everyone’s number one enemy became Thanos, the Avengers all began with one key nemesis of their own which is explored through their origin stories. Who will be Black Widow's?

This will all depend on the main focus of the film as Natasha has been on a lot of different sides: she was a Russian spy and was also on different sides of S.H.I.E.L.D and the Avengers before she ultimately joined them. However, as we’ve already seen some of her conflict with the Avengers, it’s possible the film may look further back into her past to find a suitable enemy.

Due to Natasha’s Red Room training, Madame B. will probably be an important conflict within the film, but her main enemy will depend on what her main mission is. She has a lot of history in the comics.

One of the most interesting is Sofia – another Russian spy – who Black Widow saves when she shuts down prostitution rings in Bulgaria. Sofia grew up to admire Black Widow so much that she wanted to replace her, thus taking on Black Widow’s name and responsibility herself.
