Kevin Feige is Not Closing Doors For Black Widow's Return

With the Black Widow release nearing, the big boss of Marvel Kevin Feige seems to be not ruling out the possibility of the return of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and if and when it happens, there is no definitive plan yet as Feige seems to be coy as regards the said topic. For what it is worth, at least, he is not closing doors on her MCU future.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when Kevin Feige was asked about further contractual details that Marvel has with Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, he said, "Maybe there will be more down the road' — [is the answer] comics have taught us. Anything could be the answer to that question."

With Black Widow supposedly opening the fourth phase of MCU had there been no delays due to the pandemic, many fans believe that such a placement would be odd if Natasha Romanoff would say goodbye just like that. Especially now that the storyline is passing through time itself, there could, at least a way or another, for her to be back.

Looking at where Phase 4 is going, it is definitely going to be more complicated than the three previous phases with the Infinity Saga. Either way, Marvel Comics could even tell us how these characters could come back to life just like how they do it there.

While there has been no confirmation as to Scarlett Johansson's return in the MCU, Kevin Feige's not closing the doors on her gives the fans hope that she could be back.

Black Widow premieres in theaters and on Disney Plus Premier Access on July 9, 2021.
