The actress did not directly confirm that she was offered the role before her. Little women co-star Pugh, but Ronan was visibly surprised that the rumors were circulating.

Elena Belova - main role. The character debuted in 2021. Black Widowcoming to Disney+ Hawkeye the same year. Replacing Black Widow in the MCU has huge potential that could involve multiple teams.

I'm sad to see that Saoirse Ronan joining the MCU seems like a pipe dream.

Let's hope Ronan changes his mind and takes on another role in the MCU.
