BLACK WIDOW Star David Harbour Has An Idea Where Red Guardian Was During The Events Of AVENGERS: ENDGAME

None of Black Widow's characters were part of Avengers: Endgame's massive final battle, but it turns out David Harbour has some ideas for Red Guardian's whereabouts during the events of the epic movie...

It's already been confirmed that Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova will return in the Hawkeye TV series coming to Disney+, but there's been no word on plans for other Black Widow characters like Red Guardian. Actor David Harbour has already discussed a potential meeting with Captain America, but why wasn't Alexei Shostakov part of that epic final battle in Avengers: Endgame

During a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Harbour revealed that he's spoken to Black Widow director Cate Shortland about exactly that, and it seems they both have some ideas. 

"I mean, the fun thing about this entire thing is that we go back and we build out this structure for something new," Harbour started. "So all this new content with a lot of information about the movies that moves forward with these other projects, the new Phase. And you also get to introduce these new characters. Cate Shortland and I had all kinds of speculations about where Red Guardian is, and what happens to him."

"There were a lot of fun ideas that we had, but I haven't asked [Kevin] Feige himself. I'll do that later."

Something tells us Harbour already has an idea of what the future holds in store for Red Guardian, and it would be nuts for Marvel Studios to introduce all these characters and do nothing with them.

There are a lot of other heroes who were missing from Avengers: Endgame's final act (where were Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, for example?), and while we're unlikely to get explanations for all of them, it would be pretty cool to learn that Red Guardian was off on some sort of mission for Natasha Romanoff.

Black Widow is set to be released in theaters and on Disney+ on July 9.

This is a character that could work as a Disney+ animated series, have Harbour voice him in his younger years.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Marvel has a well of untapped animation potential, and it's just a shame.
While Netflix is investing heavily in Anime and DC continues to drop worthwhile movies, Marvel isn't doing anything.
WHAT IF? seemes like it could be fun, but it doesn't seem to be anything but fun. The animation style is very safe and the stories are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I hope I'm proven wrong though.

@bkmeijer - beat me to it. He probably dies saving Natasha / Yelena or something after all he’s their “father” in this movie and Disney loves a good dead parent story

@ShimmyShimmyYA - Why would him and the director even be having a conversation about what Red Guardian was doing and what was happening to him during End Game if he dies in this?
ShimmyShimmyYA
ShimmyShimmyYA - 6/24/2021, 11:57 AM
@CorndogBurglar - because they want to joke around or just talk to each other about what he would be doing if he was still alive gotta remember they don’t take this as seriously as fans do it’s just their job

So were we supposed to know that he survives the Black Widow movie? Because this sounds like a confirmation that he survives. We would they even have that conversation if he doesn't live past this movie?

@CorndogBurglar -

Because this sounds like a confirmation that he survives.


Spoiler Alert:
So does Black Widow. 🕷

@Humperdink - Haha. Of course she does. Difference being, we know that because she was in other things that take place after the Black Widow movie. This is Red Guardian's first appearance.

.....I'm not sure if you werr just making a joke or saying I should have known Red Guardian lives already....

Would like to see young Red Guardian against young Isaish Bradley. Don't know how Marvel Studios would articulate Red Guardian meeting Steve Rogers... Some kind of prequel, but would Chris Evans go back for that? Doubt it.

@Waddles - It could have happened during Steve's time on SHIELD, between Avengers (2012) and CA:TWS. Maybe the collided during some mission. But then again, I don't think Chris Evans would play Steve on that, unless it's a flashback on a much more interesting storyline.

He and Ursa Major lived in a cabin located in the Siberian tundra. They play Russian Vodka roulette. It's fun to think of David Harbor and a Bear hanging out together.

This is either a sly fakeout or another example of Feige laying off the Marvel snipers during the pandemic. Cast members have been dropping spoilers off the top turnbuckle a LOT lately

Isnt this spoiler territory, if BW is a prequel?

The prevailing theory is that he dies in the movie. But this being Marvel Studios, they've done pretty well when it comes to what people are expecting and then doing something different.

@MosquitoFarmer - I think everyone expected him to die. I certainly did. But why would the actor and director have this conversation if he is dead durint Endgame anyway?
