BLACK WIDOW Movie Character Breakdowns Tease Main Villain, Potential Allies And More

We have some character descriptions for Marvel's upcoming Black Widow movie, and while pretty vague for the most part, they do give us some idea of what to expect from Scarlett Johansson's supporting cast.

We know the solo Black Widow movie is expected to be a prequel which focuses on Natasha Romanoff's (Scarlett Johansson) early days as a budding assassin in Soviet Russia, but aside from that we still don't have a lot of solid info on the Cate Shortland-directed Marvel flick.

However, That Hashtag Show has now posted a batch of breakdowns which may give us some idea of what to expect from the movie's supporting characters.

Truth be told, these are even more vague than the usual descriptions THS shares and really don't call any specific Marvel Comics characters to mind - although the details we do have will still lead to a healthy dose of speculation, no doubt.

Main Villain

The main villain is male, and is simply described as "exciting." Apparently the studio is open to ethnicity, but looking for someone in their 40s.

Could this be Red Guardian? Mister X? Bengal? A new take on Crimson Dynamo, perhaps? There are lots of possibilities.

Friends Or Foes?

Next we have four potential allies of Nat's who could also turn out to be backstabbing double agents. This is a spy movie, after all!

The first two are said to be Widow's contemporaries: a “kick ass” female character described as a “female Bond," and a male with an emphasis on African, Middle Eastern or East Indian actors. We're thinking the female character could be Black Lotus, or possibly even the second Black Widow, Yelena Belova.

Additionally, the studio is seeking a European Caucasian female and European Caucasian male, both in the 50-60 year old range.

Secondary Villain

The secondary baddie is female, but we have even less to go on for her. All we know is that she'll be an older character (an actress in her 50s is being sought), who is described as a “conniving female villain.”

This sounds like it could be the woman that was responsible for training Natasha in The Red Room.

The Young American

Finally, we have another supporting character described as a “bookish American” in his late 20s. Yes, that's it!

This is just a wild guess, but we reckon this might end up being Widow's target in the movie, and possibly someone she decides to spare, leading to her becoming a target herself.

Like we said, all very vague, but hopefully we'll find out more in the coming months. In the meantime, be sure to share any theories of your own in the usual place.

@gulducati - "I can confirm that Scarlett Johannson is in talks to play the lead."

@L0RDbuckethead - Kevin Feige may be producing and there's a strong chance there will be cleavage and a black, skin tight suit.

@gulducati - lol. I swear winter soldier better be in it. It needs to be explained about what she said to him in Civil War when she said you could at least recognize me

@RocknRolla - i could be wrong but i think she was reffering to the events of winter soldier!

@Macar5321 - Yes, I think that was the case. However, they could use this occasion to retcon that line to mean something from the past too.

@RocknRolla - Sebastian Stan does currently have the longest contract with Marvel. I think it was 9 films and now the streaming show with Falcon as well!

Really, really hope that the prequel aspect is just a rumor. I really don't want to see a prequel Black Widow film; have parts of it be flashback, sure. But we already know a good chunk of her backstory in the MCU. Set part of the film after Avengers 4, with what's happening in the present connect with something that happened to her in the past.

And 'exciting' villain...

It would be pointless to do this as a Prequel. We know her past, we don't need another 2 hours of that.

@Antoin - idk I don't agree. We are getting a wonder woman 2 which takes place in the past. We know she survives and joins justice league and saves the world. Yet still I'm excited excite to see more adventures she has. Same dealio here

Antoin - 11/12/2018, 3:44 PM
@Vigor - yeah but the DCU is dog s***. Haha. Only messing. But I just feel both of these films in that case are rather pointless.

@Antoin - lol tell that to the actress getting her own movie, getting paid millions and it being an MCU movie so STFU alright. Marvel hasn’t done a legit spy movie, winter soldier was political thriller
Antoin
Antoin - 11/13/2018, 5:36 AM
@Davidthegreat22 - if it's a prequel then I'm not keen. But that's my opinion and yeh they can go ahead and make their money. No worries.

@guyatadesk - I would blend Waid, Edmundson and Liu.

Shame Waid never got to properly finish his run.

@BlackBeltJones - Loved that run. The male villain and the bookish *american* made me think of the weeping lion, that'd be cool to see.

I think this is the MCU Lineup for 2020

Black Widow -March
Eternals -May
Falcon and Winter Soldier(Disney+) -July
Scarlett Witch(Disney+) -October
Dr. Strange 2 -November

@WakandaTech -

Marvel putting Black Widow is a major summer release?
I don't know about that

and Marvel waiting 5 years to release Dr. Strange 2?
KWilly
KWilly - 11/12/2018, 1:00 PM
@WakandaTech - March isn't considered summer. And Dr Strange was in IW, and will be in A4. So technically, it'll only be one year from 2019 to 2020 before we see him again.
