re: Character names for Black Widow film

Waaayy back in the day in the comics, there was a character called Ivan who was her chauffeur and I think something of a bodyguard. He learned English from watching old movies and talked like someone out of a Cagney film.

Anybody know what happened to him in the comics? Is he still around? Was he killed off or ret-conned?

I'd kind of would like to see maybe a cameo of him on screen.
