Giving her living in orderliness to fasten the Soul Stone for the Avengers , Black Widow ’s deathapparently did n’t warrant a funeral , other than a forgetful memorial scene which featured Smart Hulk throw away a bench into the sky in anger . Now , the character is premiere the launching of Marvel ’s Phase 4 , in a prequel readiness after the case ofCaptain America : Civil Warwhich looks to be rig up ' untested sister ' Yelena Belova ( Florence Pugh ) as the next Black Widow . Where the Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been about teasing the film yet to come with its post - acknowledgment tags , a prequel seems to be a weird selection for the starting line of the next , sumptuous form of manufacturer Kevin Feige ’s maestro plan . Why go backward when Marvel can move forrader ?

For model , the beginning ofPhase 3 was marked byCaptain America : Civil War , a photographic film that made huge replication throughout the MCU for the remainder of that form ( and beyond ) , both for account and type . The Avengers split up ( " Like The Beatles ? " ) and Cap and his crowd became fugitive , leading the Earth to be under - fain when Thanos ' goons came call for the Infinity Stones ; which as lover bonk , led to the quenching of half of all life in the population . The beginning of Phase 2 before it had Iron Man foul up up all his case inIron Man 3 , becoming so overly - confident in himself that he would go on to arrogantly make ' murderbot ' Ultron inAvengers : Age of Ultron . Black Widowis to be a prequel solidification between the case ofCaptain America : Civil WarandAvengers : Infinity War , so probably will not have the same impingement on the rest of Phase 4 ; especially as its chief character is numb ( a storytelling decision which may have been the wrong one ) in the present mean solar day of the Marvel Cinematic Universe .
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3was originally intend as the start of Phase 4 of the MCU , a move that would ’ve made more mother wit - the Guardians often find themselves at the cutting edge of cosmic struggle with upshot for the full universe ( be it fight down Ronan and his Power Stone or Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet ) . However , director James Gunn ’s temporary firing from Marvel Studios ended up waylaying the trilogy nigher , leave in Gunn stepping over to the other side of the aisle to directThe Suicide Squadfor Warner Bros and DC . Whilst fans do n’t know for surewhat Phase 4 would have looked like withGuardiansof the Galaxy Vol . 3at the forefront of it , it most likely would have made for a much dissimilar amount of table - setting for the rest of Phase 4 as opposed toBlack Widow .
Black Widow ’s patch appear to be a deep - dive into Natasha Romanoff as a character and her tie to her Russian super - soldier ' family ' , with a sentiment to introducingher replacement in Yelena Belova . It ’s punishing to see how a prequel with a currently deceased main character could be a ' table - setter ' for the relief of Phase 4 , as Marvel are fond of doing , makingBlack Widowa weird choice to start Phase 4 .
