Scarlett Johansson’s Possible Return as Natasha in Upcoming Avengers Films Teased By Rumors

Scarlett Johansson’s last appearance in the MCU was in the 2021 movie ‘Black Widow.’ Directed by Cate Shortland, the film stars Johansson as Natasha, along with Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz. The story focuses on Natasha as she faces her past and reunites with her estranged “family” to take down the Red Room organization.

The movie was praised for its action, character development, and performances, especially from Johansson and Pugh. Considering that Natasha died during the events of ‘Endgame’ her Black Widow position was “taken over” by Yelena Belova.

Now considering that several of Johansson’s co-stars are set to return in the upcoming ‘Avengers’ movies, notably Evans and RDJ, fans have been wondering whether the same in in the cards for Johansson as well.

Alex Perez stated during his most recent Discord AMA that Scarlet Johansson might return in the next ‘Avengers’ movies if the rumors turn out to be true.

Although we didn’t expect another Black Widow project due to her character’s death and Scarlett Johansson’s lawsuit against Disney, new reports suggest she’s working on a secret project with Disney+, and that project is heavily rumored to be a Disney+ series focusing on Blonde Phantom.

This isn’t a huge surprise, as both Johansson and Kevin Feige had previously confirmed she was involved in something Marvel-related. In a June 2023 interview, Johansson revealed that the project is still happening, but it’s on hold due to the writers’ strike and other delays. Now that the productions have restarted, who knows?
