Black Widow is gonna benefit from being the first MCU film in 10+ Months. I think it's partly why Captain Marvel did so well.

The long wait can really becomes a great piece of marketing. I thing the gasp between Far From Home and this can help too. Fandom will be salivating for something.

 

 

 

After Endgame, people are going to want to see where the Marvel story and characters go next. Spider-Man will show some of that, but presumably since it's Sony they won't be allowed to go too far into the MCU line-up past Spidey and Fury and Happy.

 

If this is set in the present day, it'll do great. But if this is set in the past, I think that'll be seen as a big drawback for a lot of fans. If it's set post-Endgame, and shows us what's going on with Hawkeye, Hulk, etc, then fans are going to be super excited.

 

Just picking a completely random number out of thin air with nothing whatsoever to back it up, I think a present-day BW movie could make $200M more WW than a prequel BW movie. Maybe even more.

Oh no...here we go.

"90 % on RT, 200 million dollar opening, 600 domestic, all locked" :etc.  

 

 

However, I do agree that most people are sleeping on this film. It will be a huge hit and I also think that the anticipation and the long history of people waiting for this to happen will help its chances...

It appears that all Kevin needs for a Billie now is 80% RT, 150 OW, 400 DOM

Seriously though, I think IW+Endgame’s effect in OS markets shouldn’t be underestimated.

I agree that a film in the present day can do more than a prequel.

 

But it's funny when people say that will flop, using Solo as a example.

 

They are absolutely right, no? The MCU flops every time. With WW and CM, it's a fact, the audience not want female superheroes. 007, Mission Impossible... the spy genre is a failure. Now imagine BW, a film that will have all of this. Disaster.

After "Captain Marvel" I am confident that Marvel can do whatever they want. They could shit in front of peoples' doors and would still get a billion for it. I was shocked what kind of hype such a bland movie can create.  

 

"Black Widow" won't flop. Pretty sure they will add some other female power in some capacity (Scarlet Witch, Wasp, one of the BP ladies) and even if they won't - I like Black Widow as a character and I also like Scarlet Johansson. Black Widow has been there from the start. I believe she has a lot more fans than many people think.

And it has been announced that the Fox Disney deal will be signed on March 20th, a few months earlier then most people were expecting.

So now they can set up some of the new charecters in BW and the Eternals.

I enjoyed her a lot in Fighting With My Family.

 

Still don't think this is on my radar but good for her!

Great actress

[LouisianaArkansasGeorgia]

People who say this will flop are in for a huge surprise.

The MCU is hotter than ever, female superhero films are no longer CBMs' red-headed stepchild, as evidenced by the financial success of Captain Marvel and the financial/critical success of Wonder Woman. 

ScarJo in the right action vehicle can certainly draw crowds (remember how Lucy killed?)

And Black Widow is an audience favorite that has a cinematic narrative that is perfect to create anticipation and build buzz for a solo adventure.

I can totally see Marvel Studios creating a fantastic marketing strategy that emphasizes how much it is about fucking time we got a BW film.

I could be wrong, but if they play their cards right, Marvel will have a smashing winner in Black Widow (and I say this as someone who doesn't even care about the character that much!)

Yelena Belova is coming!!!!! 

 

[cax16]

Looking forward to this movie. 

[Valonqar]

Saoirse and Emma are smart to pass cause they are very likely waiting for an actual big role that may result in a solo movie. Many actors pass on smaller marvel roles saying they want to be in consideration for X,Y,Z big characters. with X Men and Fantastic 4 moving to Marvel, plenty of opportunities are opening so why get yourself out of running with a one and done role?

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

All three actresses are great so Marvel was winning no matter what.Last time Emma passed on a role she announced a little later that she was doing Beauty and the Beast so maybe we have our Batgirl lol

[Ryan Reynolds]

Florence is a more likeable actress than Scarlett

[Zakiyyah6]

Emma Watson is a poor actress, I hope that she doesn't end up in anything that could be remotely interesting.

[John Marston]

Emma Watson thinking she is too good for a Marvel movie. Lmao 

[Durden]

Just wanted to follow up on @CharlesMurphTHS's fantastic #BlackWidow coverage by adding some specifics about the claim he included here that the movie will film from June to October. He's killin' it!

Heard from an industry friend it'll start on 6/1 and wrap on 10/31. https://t.co/veazW52peL
