Thanks to Avengers: Endgame, we know the fate of Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow. However, in less than a week we will get to see the character once more. Early reviews for the movie, including our own, let us know we are in for a real treat. Though, this will be the last time we Scarlet Johansson as the character, director Cate Shortland has teased the potential for a sequel.
While speaking with Radio Times, Shortland hinted that the Black Widow franchise could continue with a sequel revolved around a different character.
I think following a different character, yes. I think Scarlett is really happy that she’s leaving the party, you know, and she’s not the last to leave,” she added. “She decided she wanted to go. And I don’t think she would want to come back at the moment.

During a red carpet event for the film on Thursday, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said he hopes to work with Shortland again, but didn’t confirm that anything was happening. Shortland told Radio Times that she would come back if given the opportunity. “I would do it again, yes.”
We at The DisInsider have already seen Black Widow, so we won’t give away our guesses on who could take over the Black Widow role and/or franchise.
