BLACK WIDOW Actress Florence Pugh Rumored To Reprise Yelena Belova Role For HAWKEYE Series

If Yelena Belova is indeed set to inherit the Black Widow mantle from Natasha Romanoff, then it would make sense for her to show up in the Hawkeye series, and that's the rumor doing the rounds online...

Yelena Belova will make her big-screen debut in next year's Black Widow movie, but we may be seeing the character again a lot sooner than expected.

The Direct reports that Florence Pugh is set to reprise her role for the currently shooting Disney+ Hawkeye series. They don't have many details, but Belova is expected to "don a Ronin-inspired costume" similar to the one Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) wore in Avengers: Endgame.

Although Belova's role in the MCU moving forward has yet to be confirmed, the prevailing theory is that Natasha Romanoff's (Scarlett Johansson) fellow Red Room assassin will ultimately wind up taking on the Black Widow mantle following her "sister's" death in Endgame. If that is indeed the plan, it would make a certain amount of sense for her to cross paths with Barton at some point since he was so close to 'Tasha.

How much attention should you pay to this? Well, the source tends to share information from several different online "scoopers" (some of whom are more reliable than others), so it's difficult to gauge this rumor's validity. It also seems a tad strange that none of the trades picked up on what would be a pretty major bit of casting news.

We'll just have to wait and see. For now, be sure to share your thoughts on the prospect of Pugh returning as Yelena Belova for the Hawkeye series down below.

That would be cool.

Looking forward to Pugh’s future as the new Black Widow since I always thought ScarJo didn’t quite suit the role, aside from looks. She never felt dangerous enough (as in that she had been a stone cold murderer in the past) and I never quite bought that she was Russian.

It would be a bit poignant to see how she connects with Clint since he was such a major part of her sister's death. Has to be cathartic.

Would make sense that she knows Clint. They’ve both lost a “sister” so bonding over that would be necessary.

Who would you pair Yelena with?

I'd say Bucky would fit nice with her. Both deadly secret assassins of the past.

@GeneralZod - Cool idea, although I'm more of the pairing with Elektra.

It's all gonna be fun and games until somebody asks how Natasha actually died

Well Hawkeye seems already overcrowded, so I hope it's just a cameo of Yelena recruiting him for Thunderbolts.

Looks like 616 Natasha Romanoff's character is being spread between Melina Vostokoff and Yelena Belova.

So why not use this an excellent opportunity to softboot Daredevil?





Move it away from New York to San Francisco (like the comics) so you can test Charlie Cox on his own in the MCU before making any decisions on the rest of the Netflix cast or continuity.

Hmm, so I guess the Black Widow movie isn't as meaningless as some people try to make it seem!
