Another Avenger Is Rumored To Be Returning To The MCU

Summary

  • Rumors suggest Black Widow may return in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
  • Scarlett Johansson could reprise her role like other original Avengers.
  • Uncertainty remains regarding her return, like the manner of Evans’ comeback.

As someone who has been a devoted fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since its inception, I have to say that the prospect of Black Widow returning to the Avengers is nothing short of thrilling! It’s been a rollercoaster ride watching these characters grow and evolve over the years, and Black Widow’s journey has been particularly captivating.

Over the past few weeks, there’s been a lot of chatter about potential appearances of various original members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in either “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Avengers: Secret Wars”. Names like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have been at the center of this discussion, but one character has been noticeably absent – Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, who was killed off in “Avengers: End Game”.

In the movie “Avengers: Infinity War”, Black Widow made a self-sacrificing leap from a cliff during a mission led by the Avengers to undo the destruction caused by Thanos and his Infinity Stones. This act, filled with emotion, occurred after an intense argument and struggle between her and Clint Barton over who would offer their life for the Soul Stone. Since Black Widow was aware of Clint’s family that he longed to reunite with, she ultimately prevailed in this heart-wrenching contest. This moment was particularly poignant for all Avengers since they hadn’t experienced team member deaths prior to this incident. Similarly emotional were the deaths of Chris Evans’ Captain America and Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man in “End Game”. It seems that Marvel doesn’t shy away from changing character fates when necessary.

Black Widow Coming Back?

It’s been speculated that Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, could be reprising her role in one or even both of the upcoming Avengers films. This speculation stems from a report by CBM, which cites Daniel Richtman, a reliable source, who suggests that Johansson will make a comeback similar to Downey Jr.’s and Evans’ returns. Despite her previous statements about leaving the character after her solo movie “Black Widow,” this news sheds some light on what Black Widow was up to immediately following “Avengers: Civil War.

It seems highly likely that the primary Avengers characters will reappear, either directly or indirectly, in the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday.” There’s been consistent chatter about Wanda Maximoff potentially returning, maybe even joining forces with Doctor Doom. However, Robert Downey Jr won’t be back as Iron Man but rather as Victor Von Doom. The specifics of how these characters will be incorporated into the new movies haven’t been revealed yet, neither for Von Doom nor for Evans’ return.

There’s speculation about his potential return, with some theories suggesting he might become a malevolent version of Captain America, possibly a comic book-accurate one who was influenced by Hydra from another dimension. On the other hand, some rumors propose that Steve Rogers will remain virtuous but may adopt the identity of Nomad, a persona he took on in the comics when the government stripped him of his Captain America title.

As of now, the specifics about what’s going to happen are still largely undecided and open for discussion. There’s been no definitive announcement regarding Scarlett Johansson rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or if she will portray Black Widow in any future Avengers films should she decide to participate.
