Scarlett Johansson remains adamant that Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow’s death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe should not be undone.
Even the actors are exhausted with the MCU.

I mean, that’s the negative POV. It may simply be that she said goodbye to the character and has no interest in revisiting it again

It's the same effing thing over and over. Same with dinsey beating the dead corpse of Star Wars. Don't they have any new, different ideas? Or are they gonna make 5000000000000 movies about the same shit?

She’s just so goddamn hot. Love a strong, capable redhead.

Gross and weird

It’s weird to think Scarlett Johannsen is strong ans capable? Lol

If they really want her back, they’ll do it. “Whoa, I can’t believe the Russians cloned her, then turned her into a man, then the obvious dysphoria stemming from it caused her to turn traitor and join shield. I can’t believe she looks completely different now!” Far from the weirdest comic plot line

This is just me, but I always felt her acting talents were wasted in the MCU. Same with Brie Larson.

They got her early. She had a few solid credits to her name when she did Iron Man 2, but the smart MCU move at that point was to recruit young-ish talent and get them signed on for multi-movie contracts relatively cheap. Hopefully what we all get out of that sort of arrangement is that talented actors make enough MCU money to go off and do whatever out-there artsy stuff that creatively appeals to them and fosters their talents, rather than having to plug away in garbage movies just to pay the bills.

I agree on Scarlet but not on Brie Larson, I find most characters she plays to be bland or not move is as much.
While Scarlet in Lucy, Dark Blue and ghost in the shell really really make it clear how good of an actress she is.

What about when she played Envy Adams on Scott Pilgrim!
I mean it was a smaller role years ago, but I loved it.
For Scarlett, I think she was amazing in Marriage Story.

Neither her best film with Ghost in the title, nor the best version of Ghost in the Shell.
Not that I disagree with your point. She has acting chops wasted in MCU.

They brought her back over and over in the What If? series.

Personally I feel like it died with the resolving arc from Infinity war Part 2, when Thanos got beaten. I’m good to have it left there.
GOTG3 ended their arc pretty neatly too.
And even if I watch every marvel movie moving forward, I imagine it as being alternate timeline to the true ending. (a bit the same thing as the zelda timeline with hero defeated/hero won things)

As director she gave us several glorious ass shots to remember her by. Her work here is done.

It’s probably shameful for me to mention it, but I don’t think that I have seen Endgame more than the single time I saw it in theaters. It’s two very long movies to keep up with and then there’s so much going on that I’m not able to focus on a single character. I think that’s one reason that I’ve really enjoyed Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Stakes are much lower and there’s several characters, but they are manageable to keep track of because most of them are just normal supporting characters and not main characters in other movies about them.

But… but we’re still waiting for the Black Widow and Deadpool crossover…
