BLACK WIDOW Fan-Made Poster Imagines The Perfect Cast For THE AVENGERS Prequel

@TheOtherOn - Lots of fans have been asking for a Budapest movie since Avengers in 2012.

And ScarJo has been a leading action star for years. Don’t tell me that she’s now inspired by Gal Gadot or the DCEU lol wtf.

@TheOtherOn - A) She's not a sidekick character. She has led several different iterations of her own comic series.

B) Even if she was a sidekick, there are lots of characters who start off as sidekicks before taking center stage: Dick Grayson, Bucky Barnes, Wally West, Sam Wilson, etc.

C) Any origin story can be done in a 5 minute flashback. Burton did that with Batman. Then Nolan turned that story into one of the best superhero films ever made. The ability to do it quickly doesn't negate the potential to make it into a great story when you take the time to explore it more deeply and creatively.

D) Define "important movie." Some people seem to value the big crossovers and crossover setups over the smaller character stories, but this universe is meant to serve the characters, not the other way around. Spider-man Homecoming doesn't really introduce any big concepts to the universe or drastically alter the trajectory of Peter Parker from what we could have assumed based on Civil War. But it's one of the best MCU movies. Compare that to the divisive but "important" Age of Ultron. I'll take more a Homecoming over an Ultron. Good movies that do something different narratively, tonally, and stylistically are "important" to the continued success of the MCU. Black Widow has the potential to be that.

E) Whenever I see people complaining about feminism or female empowerment, I have to roll my eyes. Clearly you've got some larger insecurities and issues that go beyond movies causing you to be defensive and push back whenever something like this comes up. Marvel has announced two female led films after making 20 films over a period of a decade with no female leads. But two women in starring roles! Oh my gosh! Clearly they've been infiltrated by that dastardly feminist movement and are making these just to have more women! Because they can't possibly see the value and potential of these stories and feel that the element of representation is a bonus that comes along with that. Better get ready for the climax of Avengers 4 when Captain Marvel uses the infinity gauntlet to turn all the men into female versions of themselves because clearly that must be where we're heading!

@BIGBMH - Well said on all points. Totally agree!

@LordHarryLatts - I hear Daniel Day-Lewis has been itching to play a spider. But with no CGI. Just simple prosthetics and method acting to really make you believe it.

@Cayde6 - What I can't deny, does worry me A LITTLE about this Fallout movie, there's the "I don't trust anyone outside this room, so we're going rogue here"... (another character then states) "If you do go rogue, he's been authorized to hunt you down and kill you"

C'mon guys, this is like one of the constant themes of the whole damn series, could we maybe not lean into it SO heavily this time that it's literally what the subtitle of the last entry was called??
