Marvel moving forward with a ‘Black Widow' Solo Film

(no message)

I'm thinking a team up with Hawkeye.

Her paired with Winter Soldier would be the way to go. They were together for a time in the comics. Have them uncover past secrets, go back to Russia, the whole globe trotting thing would work

Unless they make this basically a Bourne type movie that is only loosely tied to the MCU, I don't see the story being very interesting. Black Widow is a side character for a reason in the other movies.

What I was thinking as well.

I don’t think an origin story would work very well.

But yeah, a prequel type movie with Winter Soldier and Hawkeye could be good. I don’t think it would be a huge box office hit. But may be like Ant Man or Incredible Hulk level. But will get big praise and accolades for girl power.

They may be setting her up to take the place of the Cap movies (ie: Bourne-type political intrigue and action) once Evans' contractual obligations for playing Cap are done. If so, she's going to need some secondary character (Cap had Falcon, Punisher had Micro, Iron Man had Pepper, etc). I'll go with the consensus here and say either Hawkeye or Winter Soldier would fit that role well.

Regardless of whom they place beside her it's going to need to be a solid story to draw an audience, not just a showcase of a hero and their abilities.

Solid play, but the story will have to be on point.

The Name of the Rose or Homecoming would be solid starting points.

And while Hawkeye makes the most sense, I see WS as the best play to bring in if he doesn't get the Shield (or even if he does, this would be a nice soft intro to that level of the character).

Additionally, and less likely, Widow has tangled with the Punisher before. If there's any Netflix character I could see on the big screen, it's Bernthal.
