In
Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow made the ultimate sacrifice when she threw herself off that cliff on Vormir in order to ensure that Hawkeye would be able to return to Earth with the Soul Stone.
Despite that, many fans remain convinced that the character could have survived, especially as a solo movie starring Scarlett Johansson as the fallen Avenger is set to arrive in theaters next May. The prevailing theory is that
Black Widow is set between the events of
Captain America: Civil War and
Avengers: Infinity War, and now the actress has weighed in on the matter.
"I can’t wait to share it with everybody," she said of the upcoming Black Widow movie. "It was fantastic. I mean, I’m partial, but I’m pretty excited about. Honestly, it brought a closure to me that I needed. Yeah, ’cause I was kind of wiped out in that last one, emotionally and literally."
"There’s very few certain things, but definitely death’s pretty certain, right? Yeah, definitely, for sure. But, people, they definitely don’t believe it and have tried to convince me that my character did not actually die, but that maybe my character exists in an alternate universe, but no, I think death is the final thing." That could be a tease that there's another Black Widow out there somewhere, but common sense says that Johansson's time as the hero is at an end.
