Gossip about upcoming Marvel movies is like a puzzle: the more information, the more questions. With the announcement of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, which will be released in 2026 and 2027, fans began to guess which of the heroes will return to the screen. After the news about the return of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr., insiders assure that the MCU has decided to resurrect Natasha Romanoff. But is she ready for this?
Scarlett Johansson, who brought this iconic heroine to life, recently gave an interview, where she touched on the topic of a possible return. And her answer was surprisingly unambiguous. The actress recalled that Natasha Romanoff “died saving the world,” and emphasized that she does not plan to return to the role.
She believes that the heroine got a worthy ending, and now Florence Pugh, who played Yelena Belova in the solo Black Widow film, should carry the torch for Black Widow.
“Natasha is dead, she saved the world, and I think that was her heroic moment. Let her stay that way.”
This statement not only dispels rumors, but also preserves the significance of the sacrifice Natasha made in Avengers: Endgame. If every hero who died came back, it would devalue the emotional weight of the previous events. Black Widow’s death became a symbol of what heroes are willing to do to save the universe. And Johansson seems to understand this perfectly.
So it seems that Natasha Romanoff will be remembered by viewers as a heroine who did the impossible for her friends and the entire universe. Who would argue that this is a bad thing?
