This Black Widow article contains MAJOR spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. Seriously. Don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Those who saw Avengers: Endgame may have been a bit surprised to hear that there was a Black Widow solo movie in the works. After all, Natasha sacrifices herself for the Soul Stone leading into the movie’s climactic third act.

However, the fact remains: After years of mumbling and shuffling their feet every time the prospect of a Black Widow movie was raised, Marvel Studios finally saw the light. More likely, they saw the stellar box office numbers and critical acclaim that were heaped on Wonder Woman – the first female superhero to headline her own movie in this modern superhero-driven media era, and steered to success by a woman director – and their own Captain Marvel standalone movie.

The latest news on the flick? Kevin Feige has told Total Film that though they’ve “hinted at [Natasha Romanoff’s backstory] throughout the other films” in Black Widow they “approach it in a completely unexpected way” and we could see some eye-popping cameos and maybe even a little retcon. “She’s been up to a lot all along – in between when we see her in the other movies – some of which will be surprising to people.”
