Scarlett Johansson doubles down on never coming back as Black Widow: “Natasha is dead. She is dead. She’s dead. Okay?"

Scarlett Johansson is really done with the MCU, even if some fans refuse to believe it. In a recent interview, the actor confirmed (again) that her Black Widow is not coming back. Ever.

"Natasha is dead. She is dead. She's dead. Okay?," she told InStyle, leaving no room for argument.

Zoe Saldaña's Gamora was killed in that same place in Vormir during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, but the character was brought back not long after from an alternate timeline. It doesn't seem like anything like that will ever happen with Natasha, as Scarlett Johansson is clearly not open to the idea of reprising her character.

"I’m done. Chapter is over. I did all that I had to do. Also coming back and playing a character again and again, over a decade of time, is such a unique experience," she told MCU co-star Gwyneth Paltrow on her episode of the Goop Podcast in 2023.
