It has been over two years since the release of the last Marvel movie, after “Spider-Man: Far From Home” debuted in theatres in 2019. The follow-up to “Avengers: Endgame,” showed the world in the after the reverse of “the blip” and the death of Tony Stark, and the potential of Peter Parker stepping into the metal shoes of Iron Man. The end of “Phase 3” of Marvel’s Universe brought us tears and a fitting conclusion to the Infinity Saga, which took over a decade and nearly two dozen movies to tell.
Among the biggest shockers of “Endgame” was the loss of Scarlett Johansson’s character, Natasha Romanoff. Romanoff sacrificed herself in exchange for the Soul Stone on Vormir, allowing for Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton to return home to his family who had all been snapped away by Thanos. With the coming solo film for Romanoff, a lot of questions remained as to how this film would weave into the MCU universe.
