Who doesn't know Black Widow from the Avengers movie series? I bet she's one of the favorites.

Based on the character created by Stan Lee, this is the first feature film on Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, being portrayed by Scarlet Johansson.

Lionsgate developed the plan to produce Black Widow and have acquired the films right in February 2004. However, by June 2006 Lionsgate dropped the project and the films right was transferred to Marvel Studios.

In January 2009, Marvel Studios had an early talk with Emily Blunt for the role of Black Widow in Iron Man 2 but the latter has previous commitments. It was in March 2009 when Scarlet Johansson signed on to play Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in a multiple films deal where her character Black Widow would appear.

Marvel Studios prioritized the production of Captain America and Avengers series from 2010 to 2018. They did not expect the audience great reaction to Johansson's character and acting performance. Hence, they increased the number of films Johansson first signed to as needed due to demands for the character.

There were intermittent discussions on the planning & development of the stand-alone film for Black Widow between the years 2014 to 2018. Johansson herself were making suggestions on how to explore the different layers of the character's story. She said that she is dedicated to making a possible Black Widow film amazing and would want it to be the best version possible, otherwise, she will not do it.

Because of the development work already done as well with the support they are receiving from the viewing public, Marvel Studios finally decided in 2017 to push the Black Widow film this 2020.

Filming occurred from May to October 2019 in different locations, Norway, Budapest, Morocco, Pinewood Studios in England and in Macon, Georgia.

Produced by Kevin Feige and directed by Cate Shortland, the film is set to be released in US on May 1, 2020.
