Rumors Hint at Scarlett Johansson’s Return as Natasha in Upcoming ‘Avengers’ Films

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

The film was praised for its action, character development, and performances, especially by Johansson and Pugh. Since Natasha died in Endgame, her Black Widow role was taken over by Yelena Belova.

Now, with several of Johansson’s co-stars, like Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr., set to return in upcoming Avengers movies, fans are wondering if Johansson might return as well.

Alex Perez mentioned in his latest Discord AMA that Scarlett Johansson could return in the next Avengers movies if the rumors are true.

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

This isn’t a big surprise, since both Johansson and Kevin Feige had confirmed she was working on something Marvel-related. In a June 2023 interview, Johansson mentioned the project is still happening but is on hold due to the writers’ strike and other delays. Now that production has started up again, we might hear more soon!
