After a standalone film for Black Widow has been confirmed post "The Avengers", lead actress Scarlett Johansson says it will be a prequel.
The 27-year-old actress, who played the gun-wielding hero in the film, said she and Marvel Studios have 'spoken a lot' about developing a film that follows the heroine's origin in Russia, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I love her origin story. I think it's just such a riveting one. It's just steeped in history and the richness to shoot in Russia, perhaps... I hope that the fans' voice is loud enough and they want to see a Widow origin story, I know Marvel would be happy to entertain that. We've spoken a lot about it," she said.
Johansson also dished on what is the difference between playing Natasha Romanoff in "Iron Man 2" and "Avengers".
"In 'Avengers' you see a little bit about how Natasha joined and it's not that she's fighting for the greater good of humanity. She was almost salvaged by SHIELD and so she's loyal to that group, to that agency, but only as sort of paid debt," she added.

YESSS! We need more female centered Marvel films.
'Black Widow' movie will focus on the heroine's origin

I love her and I love what she did in the movie, but the Russian was a hot mess.
Also, a Runaways movie or TV series need to happen.
As well as Young Avengers.
I'd watch just for those arms, tbh.just realized I no longer have my Hawk eye icon
this is not a good feeling
I'd love for a movie about Black Widow going solo doing badass shit instead of learning how to do badass shit.
as soon as i saw the movie i wanted an origins movie for her. i am SO excited. first badass girl-centric film*** in a while :) and i never would've thought if i only based it on iron man 2.

i would die with happiness
Missed his ass in The Avengers ngl.
even Thor's hair kept going back and forth in the Avengers. One minute it was messy and then perfectly groomed lol
Also, I say turn this movie into a Hawkeye/Black Widow combination prequel.
He has to be in her origins story to bring her into Shield, so why not kill two birds with one story and have a combo.
Get on it, Marvel/Disney!
It'd be so amazing.
Almost as amazing as your icon.
