Doomsday is expected to begin filming in a couple of weeks; all eyes will be on the cast. Certainly, Marvel and the Russo Brothers will be keeping the set on full lockdown, as they’re well aware that fans want to know which Avengers will be returning. Some have been confirmed and others are playing dumb but Scarlett Johansson is flat-out saying she can’t return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That seems reasonable enough, but Johansson knows full well that just because a character dies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t mean we’ll never see them again considering all of the multiverses and timeline hops. At the same time, she has a point in wanting to let Natasha have her “hero moment,” something she got in Endgame. If she returns, wouldn’t that just diminish the impact she had? Of course, that won’t stop a single rumor from being kicked around.

And so while Scarlett Johansson may not plan on appearing onscreen for Marvel ever again, she is an executive producer on Thunderbolts*, which arrives on May 2nd and will conclude Phase Five of the MCU. Florence Pugh, who acted alongside Johansson in Black Widow as Yelena Belova, stars with Sebastian Stan, David Harbour and more.

What do you think? Do the Avengers need Black Widow and should Scarlett Johansson have another outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Spin us your take in the comments section below.
