What do we want in a Black Widow movie?
Dec. 30th, 2011 11:53 pmAfter The Avengers, Thor 2 and Iron Man 3, the question is "What is next?" for the Marvel Cinema Universe.
I am hoping for a Black Widow movie starring Scarlett Johansson, but what would we want in such a movie?

They *could* use the "Natasha is a LOT older than she looks" idea that Marvel has used in the last ten or so years. Or maybe "Project: Black Widow" started after the end of the Cold War.

Yelena Belova. After seeing the first ten minutes of "Hanna," specifically Saoirse Ronan as Hanna, I think Ronan would be a great choice as the young woman picked to "replace" Natasha Romanova. Yelena becoming obsessed with surpassing Natasha while Natasha becomes obsessed with "saving" Yelena sounds like a good conflict for the plot.

Red Guardian/Alexei Shostakov. Making Natalia an actual widow is an important part of her character, and they could even add the whole "The Soviet Union tried to make their own version of Captain America" element. The might just name drop "Project: Red Guardian" instead of actually naming him that.

The Red Ghost/Ivan Kragoff and his Super-Apes (Mikhlo, Igor and Peotr). You cannot go wrong with superpowered apes.
Gremlin/Kondrati Topolov.
