My concern with a Black Widow movie is that I think there's a lot that a good team could work with to make a fucking awesome movie..... but that movie wouldn't fit well with what we've seen of the MCU.

They could really embrace the Cold War spy movie aesthetic thing (much like they've done with the 80s nostalgia). Go whole hog on the costuming and old tech and such. But her story is really fucking dark, in a real world sort of way. They managed to do the Winter Soldier stuff all right, but his backstory is still pretty superhero-ish. With Natasha they have to either go full on Manchurian Candidate (which people might like but Marvel then risks losing younger audiences) or they have to try and pretty it up. And if they do that they run the risk of smacking straight into that wall of cognitive dissonance that's already a threat to any superhero movie.

Plus there's the timeline issues. In the comics iirc Natasha was trained during the 50s or 60s. It made sense that she was this classic cold war spy who eventually converted over. And iirc she was enhanced like Steve and Bucky, so she didn't really age. But the MCU takes place *now* and we haven't been given any indication that she's been enhanced like that. So either she's got the same long backstory as the comics and totally failed to mention to fellow dinosaur Steve that she's fucking 70, or she's as old as the MCU would lead us to believe and Red Room happened in the 80s/90s, which doesn't work as well for a lot of reasons.

Just watch the Red Sparrow movie that is coming out. Black Widow movie without BW.

The Red Sparrow trailer looked really bad, though. :(

People keep mentioning this 'Red Sparrow', and I saw the trailer and i thought it was some kind of...i dunno...relationship gone wrong or sex trafficking thing or something. 'Sekret spy assassin' didn't even cross my mind. I am *still* not sure what it's about, and the trailer didn't make me want to find out.

[soldatsasha]

It seems to be about a ballerina who suffers a career ending injury so she joins some sort of spy school. Then she meets an American CIA agent. The trailer seems to imply there's some sort of relationship between them, like a romance across enemy lines thing.

The basic premise is very Black Widow-ish. But the trailer was awful (those accents, my god) and definitely didn't make me interested in watching the movie.

Wow, yeah, that sounds..... Wow. The trailer was just weird, to me. Not remotely appealing.

This is a really good comment, and I agree with all of it.
