With the release of Black Widow only a couple of weeks away, it seems like the Marvel movie could set a precedent for the MCU – we may be getting more prequels, according to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige.
Set after the events of Captain America: Civil War, the movie will see Scarlett Johansson take one final turn as Natasha Romanoff (AKA Black Widow) – the character met a fateful end in Avengers: Endgame, so this is likely to be the last time we see her on the big screen.
"Certainly, this film and this story is a particular case for Natasha," Feige said at a recent press conference. "But the notion of exploring the past, present, and future of the MCU is certainly in the cards for all of our characters. This particular story of this particular cast is very personal, very specific to Natasha."
Natasha's solo movie has certainly been a long time coming, with fans keen to see her take center stage for more than a decade now. Black Widow will see her taking on life as a fugitive and reconnecting with figures from her past as a KGB agent. Directed by Cate Shortland, the movie also stars Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz, David Harbour, and O-T Fagbenle.
Originally due to be released in May 2020, Black Widow finally arrives simultaneously in theaters and on Disney Plus Premier Access on July 9. While we wait, make sure you're up to date on the MCU with our guide to Marvel Phase 4.
