With xxxxx actor out of the way that top $$$ money was going to go somewhere and it is justly deserved by Scarlet.

Hope this is set in the post Infinity war setting.

She was great in Endgame. I can't wait to see this movie. 

 

She deserves it. I'm actually more excited to see this, than Spider Man Far From Home.

I'm thinking this one will be her pre-IM2 perhaps, or part of it reflect back to at minimum the now infamous Budapest situation she and Clint talk about. Also about the events of the 'Red' on her ledger.

 

I'd totally be for this being a whole pre-IM2 set film, her conversion to SHIELD and those trappings.

Perhaps a Black Widow 2 film has post-Avengers but pre-IW.

I'd suggest a Black Widow 3 film set post-IW but pre-EG as intriguing.

It would go back and forth between that and Natasha's younger days. Maybe a sort of Godfather 2 type structure.

And it's really hard talking about this ujntil the spoiler rule for Endgame is lifted.

Fast and Furious 9 is still releasing in 2020. Even with a decline from 8, should be able to become the highest grossing. DOM is a toss-up between Black Widow and Wonder Woman 1984.

[Mr Terrific]

I* would’ve guessed 90-100 OW, 220-250 dom for this. Do others see much higher?

 

* - not a concern troller. Just being conservative in face of possible lower spectacle like Ant-Man. 

[youcantseemyname]

Has this already started filming or going to be delayed again?

Pretty hyped for BW tbh!

[ChipDerby]

So I mused on KJ and Twitter... This film has to introduce a new character to the MCU, right? Someone from the Fantastic Four maybe?

I'm thinking they will certainly be looking to ramp up the spectacle content as far as possible. But how far can they go if it's an espionage/Mission Impossible-style genre movie??

 

Black Widow is going to be the only MCU movie released in a 16 month period!! After releasing four (and with FFH soon maybe five) movies which hit a billion dollars plus in the preceding 16 months, that's a considerable barren spell. 

[JimiQ]

I am also predicting something between AMaW and GOTG1, but am prepared for more. Much more

 

And god I hope they will ground it. No big cgi third act fight.

I love me an MCU film. However, I'd think WW84 has the advantage and to me wins. Black Widow as a $250m+ DOM grosser sounds about right.

Then one has to consider this wild card. It'll have been almost 1.5yrs since an MCU movie hit. Will people be hungry for more and show up in large numbers OR will this be a 'soft' opening. Not necessarily an indicator of the long mentioned(desired in some camps) CBM fatigue but just less rush factor.

Feige has pretty much said not to expect any of the Newcomers from Fox for a couple of years...though I think we will see the FF much sooner then the X Men...the FF will be much easier to introduce.

He's not gonna make the mistake the the DCU made by trying to dump a whole bunc of new charecters into the universe in a hurry.

And since a good deal of the plotline maybe all of it..takes place before the first Iron Man,I think introducing new major charecters would be sort of hard.

Eh, it wouldn't be that hard to just mention a name, or have her have a run in with a future character.
