'Black Widow' Movie Planned for Marvel Phase 4?
1 hour ago
Many fans were disappointed to hear that Captain Marvel would be the first solo female superhero adventure coming from Marvel Studios and Disney. Only because Black Widow seemed more deserving of the release date slot. But don't worry, it's not a slight on Scarlett Johansson's character.

Though, it most likely won't be happening in Phase 3.
There is no doubt that Black Widow is one of the most interesting characters currently featured in the McU. And while we've seen some of her exciting backstory revealed in Avengers: Age of Ultron, there is plenty more left to tell. So far, she has played second fiddle to heavy hitters Captain America and Iron Man, and she'll be even more on »
