10 Questions Which Need To Be Answered In The Upcoming MCU TV Shows

5. Did Black Widow And Bucky Actually Know Each Other?

During The Winter Soldier's escape in the middle of Civil War, a couple of the Avengers attempt to keep the newly re-activated Super-Soldier from going on a tear through Berlin.

In one of these various one-on-one encounters with Bucky, Black Widow can be heard saying, 'You could at least recognise me.', after being smashed onto a table by the enhanced human.

This line at first seems to be a callback to the previous film in the Captain America series, yet there may be a little more to their relationship than we initially thought.

Bucky and Natasha were actually lovers in the comics and this line seems to suggest that the assassins could have had a romantic history in the MCU, too.

It has been mentioned on a few occasions that Natasha has a dark past, but could some of that history have been spent killing innocents alongside The Winter Solider?

With Black Widow and Falcon and The Winter Soldier both dropping over the next few months, hopefully the MCU will give us a fleshed out backstory which will add a ton of weight to this seemingly throwaway line.
