Over the subsequently 11 years, Marvel has successfully expanded the franchise into a vast universe full of more comic-book environment portrayals than one can count. There's been a lot going upon for the Avengers and friends, but for many fans, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow hasn't had quite satisfactory to do. Audiences have been rooting for a Marvel movie for Natasha Romanoff to call her own, and it entirely seems subsequently those dreams are coming true.

Earlier this year, Marvel reportedly hired screenwriter Jac Schaeffer and director Cate Shortland to team stirring subsequently Scarlett Johansson for a Black Widow movie. Soon after, a rumored plot stock made its artifice online, describing the film as a prequel/origin description for the hero that would be a times piece. But former Black Widow writer/director David Hayter, who worked upon the scrapped project subsequently Lionsgate, maintains the rumored plot is straight from his subsequently project that never came to be. In his words:

Somebody just put out a condensation of the upcoming film based upon my script because it was essentially an stock description but they basically described what my logline was.

The rumored plot details for Black Widow looked to stroll a similar alleyway to the first-female led Marvel film, Captain Marvel, which will take audiences urge on to the '90s subsequently it comes to theaters this March. Per David Hayter's recent explanation to DiscussingFilm (via HN Entertainment), the condensation detailed Natasha Romanoff blooming in the allied States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union-- putting it at roughly 2006. The given description does sounds a tiny old-fashioned if you see nearby at it, back it says "the undertaking moves to present-day further York, where she is a freelance operative" in coincidence subsequently the 12-year-old date.

As of yet, no official plot details have been released from Marvel about the upcoming Black Widow movie. The studio seems to be keeping just about anything under wraps until Avengers 4 makes its artifice to theaters, because its conclusion will likely have a large effect upon where the MCU goes from here. Kevin Feige has expressed Marvel's loyalty "creatively and emotionally" to telling Black Widow's description in Phase 4 though, consequently the project seems to be given upmost priority distressing forward. Filming could start as to the lead as to the lead 2019 and Black Widow might see a 2020 release if rumors arena true.

When Scarlett Johansson was asked about the solo project to the lead this year, she showed an combination in telling the description of Natasha where she has room to finally have agency as a environment after a long career of taking orders in her past. Johansson seems to want to see focus on subsequently the role, and that honestly may be the best artifice to go for the movie-- subsequently some unique exploration of her frightened subsequently woven in as well. I personally think telling the description of a female hero already seasoned in her undertaking and effected by it is much more intriguing than having Johansson pose as her environment though she's in her to the lead '20s. It would disconnect Natasha from every her undertaking in the MCU, dating urge on to 2010's Iron Man 2.

Scarlett Johansson is reportedly making bank upon the solo project subsequently a reported $15 million paycheck, comparable to Chris Evan's for Captain America: Civil dogfight and Chris Hemsworth's in Thor: Ragnarok. It may be a though back we receive some solid intel about Black Widow, but until later the actress will reprise her iconic role in Avengers 4 upon May 3, 2019.
