I was iffy on her in IM2 and then Avengers was ugh. No, they're not recasting her. My assumption is they're going to turn that movie into a simultaneous prequel/launching point. ie, it sort of starts out as the prequel origin story of Scarlett Johansson's character, so they use her pre-established star power/character to pull existing fans in. But then because it's almost certainly going to also involve her early life and the training program she was part of, it gives them the opportunity to introduce other characters, and they can ultimately bring a new Widow into future movies. We already know they've cast Yelena Belova for the film, so there's the first blatant option right there. There've also been a few other Black Widows in the comics (and a few Red Widows as well), so I could see them going that route. Or they could just introduce an entirely new character they invent for the films to be a new Black Widow. Probably complete with a throughline where there's a scene where "new Widow" is inspired to idolize Nat in a moment of great importance, then at the end of the film you have the new Widow learn that Nat basically sacrificed herself to save the entire universe (well, half of it, anyway), and then be all like "Well, the world needs a Black Widow", and then bam, guest appearances in future films/Avengers 5. It kind of feels like they're pushing the idea of legacy characters a bit harder in Phase 4 - Falcon Cap, shitty Jane Foster Thor, probably keeping either Pepper or Rhodey around with Iron Man suits and probably bringing Miles Morales into Spider-Man eventually (and potentially introducing Kamala Khan in a Captain Marvel sequel) - so I could definitely see them going that route with Black Widow. (It's probably too much to hope for that they use the movie to introduce the Soviet Super-Soldiers/Winter Guard, But we basically already got that movie anyway, when the Russians made "Guardians" as an Avengers rip-off a few years back.) --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:925035383] in A whole bu...
