Black Widowwill see Scarlett Johansson ’s Natasha Romanoff pass on the baton to her successor , Florence Pugh ’s Yelena Belova . Marvel sports fan have been pushing for aBlack Widowmovie ever since Scarlett Johansson made her MCU debut in 2010’sIron human 2 . Marvel is finally responding to that need , but the timing is honestly surreal give Black Widow was belt down inAvengers : Endgame .
Most attention has focused on Florence Pugh ’s Yelena Belova , who hasthe potential to give Black Widow a bequest . In the comics , Yelena Belova share Natasha ’s rootage account ; she too was a matter of the Red Room . Yelena initially service as an enemy , determined to test herself well than Natasha had ever been , but her trust in the Red Room gradually crumbled . She became a freelance operative for some year , until Natasha ’s evident decease led her to become the next Black Widow . There ’s been acute speculation the MCU will take a like approach .

A report fromEmpire Magazineapparently confirm this possibility . allot to theater director Cate Shortland , whileBlack Widowis not the origination fib of Natasha Romanoff , it serves as a launch pad for Yelena Belova .
" [ Kevin Feige ] realized that the audience would expect an origin story so , of path , we went in the diametric charge . And we did n’t know how great Florence Pugh would be . We screw she would be great , but we did n’t knowhowgreat . Scarlett is so gracious , like , ‘ Oh , I ’m hand her the baton . ’ So it ’s go to motivate another distaff plot line . "
In Sojourner Truth , this should n’t come as much of a surprise . There ’d been some conjecture Yelena would decease at the remainder ofBlack Widow , with some pointing to Natasha wear Yelena ’s fighting crown inAvengers : Infinity War . This never seemed particularly likely , however , give Marvel had recruited a high - profile actress at the top of her plot . They had already arguably underused their first Black Widow , and they ’d be foolish to vote down off a potential successor without making the most of her .
This does not , however , enjoin us what Yelena ’s status quo will be at the end ofBlack Widow ; the picture show explores themes and thought from the spy writing style , which means it ’s even potential Natasha will believe her " baby " utter . Trailers have included footage ofa captive Yelena apparently being experimented on by AIM , and in the comics they transform her into a so - called " Super - Adaptoid , " capable to duplicate the powers of others ; it ’s therefore potential Cate Shortland ’s " distaff plot line " could see Yelena render with enough king to hold her own against even the the like of the Hulk and Thor . What does seem certain , though , is that the members of Natasha ’s loose " family " introduced in this moving picture will all have the chance to react to her last . Aware fans had been disappointed withthe lack of a funeral for Black WidowinAvengers : Endgame , Shortland explained this film would " allow the ending to be the grief the individual feel , rather than a big public discharge . I think that ’s a meet ending for her . " Although the bulk ofBlack Widowis set in the aftermath ofCaptain America : Civil War , it sound as though some scene - perhaps even post - credit picture - will explore the consequences ofAvengers : Endgame .
