BLACK WIDOW Solo Movie Will Reportedly Be A Prequel; May Feature An Appearance From The Winter Soldier
In the midst of all this Avengers: Infinity War coverage, we have some new details on Marvel Studios' planned Black Widow solo film. Though this is likely subject to change, find out more after the jump...
If you were hoping that the solo Black Widow movie would reveal what went down between Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton in Budapest, you might be in for some dissapointment.
That Hashtag Show has come across some new details on Marvel's plans for the lethal Avenger's solo outing, and it looks like the studio intends to wind the clock back to before Scarlett Johansson's character made her MCU debut in Iron Man 2.
"The film will find Natasha living in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union! That timeline places the film firmly in the mid-2000s, meaning we'll meet up with Nat prior to the events of Iron Man 2. That time frame opens up plenty of options, and while many fans seem to want a Black Widow/Hawkeye team up in Budapest, we've been told that early discussions about the film involved Sebastian Stan's Winter Soldier."
Bucky and Widow have plenty of history together in the comics which could be well worth exploring, and we know that the pair did cross each others' paths in the MCU back when The Winter Soldier was in full-on Hydra assassin mode.
Still, is making Widow's first solo outing a prequel the best move? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.
Black Widow will be written by Jac Schaeffer, and though no director is attached, THS has also discovered that Thor: Ragnarok's Brad Winderbaum is on board as executive producer.
