The role that the American actress has played in the Marvel Universe for a decade Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, is undoubtedly one of the most beloved of the fans of this genre.
The debut of Scarlett Johansson Black Widow happened in the movie Iron Man 2, in 2010 and since then it has been a key character in all new films in the Marvel Universe.
For this reason, the death of Scarlett Johansson Black Widow In the last film of this saga, Avengers: Endgame, has left more than one stunned and without the intention of stepping on a movie theater again.
However, the good news is that there will be a replacement for Black Widow Scarlett Johansson, in this case personified in the actress Florence Pugh.
A good replacement for Black Widow Scarlett Johansson
The actress herself revealed part of what will happen to Black Widow, by congratulating her replacement Florence Pugh and stating that she will inaugurate "an independent franchise" with the character.
This was pointed out by Scarlett Johansson when talking about the launch of the new movie "Black Widow", which had been scheduled for April and it was now postponed to the end of November 2020 for the Covid-19 pandemic.
But the expression "independent franchise" used by the now "deceased" Black Widow Scarlett Johansson led many to speculate that it will not be the only film of its kind.
Now many assure that will actually be the first of a new saga, in this case dedicated exclusively to the character of the Black Widow.
What do we know about the new movie based on Black Widow Scarlett Johansson?
For now it is known that the new film is directed by Cate Shortland and the plot is located between the events recounted in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Avengers: Infinity War (2018).
In the new saga, the beautiful Natasha Romanoff, now played by Florence Pugh, will fight a new evil figure, very powerful, called Taskmaster.
Producer Kevin Feige explained to the specialized press that this film is the answer to a request from millions of fans of the Marvel Universe.
"If there is a movie that people have not stopped asking us for a long time, more than any other, it is the Black Widow movie," said Feige.
He also added that the new film clarifies several of the decisions Scarlett Johansson made in her role as Natasha Romanoff in the movie Avengers: Endgame.
Will Scarlett Johansson return to the big screen?
Florence Pugh is the new Black Widow of the Marvel Universe
In one of the recent trailers of the new film the new Black Widow appears facing a new masked enemy, which also imitates each of their movements like the reflection of a mirror.
In addition, the shape of the enemy's body is very similar to that of the heroine and her movements have the same plasticity and elegance.
This leads many to assume that the new villain is none other than the original Black Widow Scarlett Johansson, who now returns as an evil character.
That would mean that the actress will still be alive in the Marvel Universe, now as an enemy of the Natasha Romanoff that all fans have loved for years.
Even the announcement that action heartthrob Tom Cruise will shoot a movie in space has not generated as much speculation as the possible return of Scarlett Johansson.
The Black Widow Scarlett Johansson clone theory
Perhaps the idea that Scarlett Johansson returns as a villain to stay alive in a franchise that she popularized as a heroine with a beautiful face and a heart attack figure sounds a bit far-fetched.
But in reality, this had already been raised in the Secret Empire comics.
There, the late Natasha Romanoff is revived. transferring part of his memories to a cloned body.
This would support the theory that Scarlett Johansson would continue to participate in the Black Widow films, but now as her arch-enemy Taskmaster.
Another fact that confirms this hypothesis is that there is not much sense in making a movie about the Black Widow if she died permanently.
The most logical explanation, therefore, is that the Black Widow Scarlett Johansson will continue to live and feed the plot a new sequel.
Many theories about who Taskmaster is
The latest trailer for Black Widow and her characters leaves many doubts about the identity of Taskmaster.
Some claim that it is not Scarlett Johansson but actually the character Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).
This is justified by the fact that the latest trailer for the new Black Widow movie show Taskmaster using bow and arrows, like Hawkeye would.
There are also those who claim that it is the character Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz), acting as a double agent.
For this they are based on the fact that in the original comics Vostokoff had a second identity, Iron Maiden, which He wore a suit similar to that of the mysterious Taskmaster.
But also, the Taskmaster character himself was actually named Anthony Masters, who has the ability to copy the movements and abilities of his enemies.
This ability was obtained after receiving a serum similar to the one that created Captain America, but which had the side effect of making him lose his memory.
As a result of this, he became a hitman and created the Taskmaster academy to train all kinds of criminals.
The hope of the fans
Many wish the return of Black Widow and that he does not die like Captain America
Despite the change of sides, millions of followers of Black Widow Scarlett Johansson will prefer that she return, even with a different name and personality.
Many refuse to accept the death of their most beloved character, as happened with Chris Evans (Captain America) and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man).
The director of the new film herself, Cate Shortland, added fuel to the fire by stating that she will see "a new side of Natasha", perhaps as Taskmaster?
He further noted that Black Widow is not your typical heroine because "its past hides many dark things and unknown facets", which according to Shortland we will now know for the first time.
The Disney production company had planned that Black Widow would surpass the launch success of Joker that raised more than 93 million dollars.
Now she is worried because the Date change will affect the release schedule of other series and movies from the Marvel Universe.
