Scarlett Johansson reveals her Black Widow and Hawkeye regrets after rejoining the MCU

Scarlett Johansson has commented on what she wishes the Marvel Cinematic Universe had done differently with Black Widow. The actress gave life to one of the most important heroes of all MCU movies. Black Widow was a key part of the Avengers, and it was only through her sacrifice that the team could defeat Thanos. Another movie that finally explored her origins in the form of 2021’s Black WidowThe star is done playing the character. However, with Johansson now involved in Marvel Studios’ thunderbolts*Perhaps her Black Widow remorse could lead to a Natasha Romanoff-like comeback.

Talk to MTV UK, Scarlett Johansson said she would have liked to explore more of Black Widow’s past and her relationship with Hawkeye.

While the Black Widow movie managed to shed light on many aspects of Natasha Romanoff’s origin, the film did not include Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye beyond an uncredited voice cameo during Black Widow and Hawkeye’s much-talked-about Budapest mission. The movie never showed the two meeting for the first time or the beginning of their relationship, but with Johansson now back in the MCU, there is a small chance that a future Marvel project could do so. Check out the full quote below:

“I would probably go further back in the Black Widow story. I would love to see Hawkeye, Black Widow, some of that stuff. You see early parts of her life.”

The MCU could use more original Avengers

Johansson said she is done playing Black Widow. However, it is interesting to see that the actress still thinks that there was more that could be explored with the character. Now that Johansson is back in the MCU, even if it’s in a producer role, perhaps Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige could convince her to return as Natasha Romanoff, similar to Avengers star Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, who also left the MCU. with Avengers: Endgame But have since returned to the franchise.

2021s Black Widow Offers the perfect way for Johansson to come back. The movie was a prequel, exploring events from Natasha’s past and the character’s adventures in between Captain America: Civil War And Avengers: Infinity WarAs Black Widow has already died in the MCU in 2019. Johansson’s possible return would not need to mess with Romanoff’s endingAs a new Black Widow movie focused on Natasha meeting Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton and going on missions with Hawkeye would be a perfect fit, allowing Johansson to fix her MCU regrets and Marvel to have an original Avenger back in play.

More Hawkeye and Black Widow will always be great

The friendship between Hawkeye and Black Widow is one of the best relationships in the MCU. I was broken by the touching nature of Natasha Romanoff’s sacrifice, as the two Avengers fought each other to see who would get to sacrifice their lives to save their best friend, showing how much love they have for one another. Like Johansson, I would love to see the beginning of Clint and Natasha’s relationship in the MCU. Hopefully, even if it comes in animated form, Marvel will find a way to connect this part of Black Widows history.
