On this planet of comedian books, demise is one factor that’s nearly by no means everlasting, and the identical has been confirmed true repeatedly in comedian e book films. Having stated that, don’t go in search of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow to come back again from the useless anytime quickly, because the actress has a fairly sturdy feeling about her character’s MCU future, or the shortage thereof.
Contemplating all of the Marvel characters which have died and returned prior to now, and the expectations that the 2 upcoming Avengers films are prone to be chalked filled with characters, it definitely wouldn’t be loopy to see Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow at the very least make a cameo, however ScarJo doesn’t mince phrases with InStyle, strongly indicating that gained’t be occurring.

Natasha is useless. She is useless. She’s useless. Okay? They simply do not wish to imagine it. They’re like, ‘However she might come again!’ Look, I feel the stability of your entire universe is held in her hand. We’re going to should let it go. She saved the world. Let her have her hero second.
There isn’t a variety of wiggle room left right here. Johansson says, fairly plainly, that Natasha is useless 3 times in a row, simply to drive residence the purpose. Whereas it’s nonetheless potential that someone might discover a approach to carry Natasha again, thus necessitating a request for Johansson to return, it definitely doesn’t sound like she’s in search of an excuse to come back again.

After all, even all this doesn’t imply that Scarlett Johansson is totally executed with the MCU. The opposite demise, the one which additionally issues, has been undone sideways now that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the franchise, merely taking part in a special character. In an infinite multiverse, ScarJo definitely might do one thing comparable. The actress might conceivably return, the character, it appears not.
