Black Widow has been a key member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since her introduction in “Iron Man 2” but she still has yet to receive her own solo film. Marvel seems to be behind the curve in regards to female fronted films, but they confirmed their first one when they announced “Captain Marvel.”
Although fans were happy about the “Captain Marvel” announcement, some were left scratching their heads in regards to why Captain Marvel would get her own film before Black Widow.
There’s been a lot of talk over the past few years about whether or not the film will happen and Scarlett Johansson seems more than willing to star in the movie, but Marvel has yet to commit.
Chris Evans has worked very closely with Scarlett Johansson during his run with the MCU, and during a recent interview with Elle he said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Black Widow get her own movie in the future.
“That’s a good question. It would really just clean up, wouldn’t it? Scarlett [Johansson] is so good at everything she does. She’s played such a crucial part in the other films. She always makes her presence so felt—even when there are 50 different superheroes running around onscreen. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens at some point in the future. I’m sure Scarlett would be open to it.”
Not only is Black Widow one of the most vital members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she’s also arguably the most intriguing. There’s certainly plenty of stories to tell when it comes to a Black Widow movie, now we just have to wait and see if Marvel will step up and make it happen.
