    We have yet to see a lot of Scarlett Johansson in action as Black Widow.  We've seen a couple images from Iron Man 2.  If you were lucky enough to go to San Diego Comic-Con (or saw the really bad bootlegged video online), you saw that she does play a physical role.
     
    Apparently the role caused her to strain her neck muscles during stunt scenes.  In her own words, she doesn't believe she'll be able to turn her neck to the left again.  Perhaps she's not being completely serious.
     
    Despite her injury, Johansson would love to return to the role.

     I hope I get to come back and do it again. The character certainly comes back. We see that she does in the comics and certainly she is a part of The Avengers.

    I don’t know if that is where it’s going to go but she is definitely a big part of The Avengers and she has many different incarnations and different storylines so I’m hoping she will be able to continue in that way.

    I’m hoping that if the fans like the character and support the character, we’ll see her again.

    Do you think there'd be room for her in the Avengers movie?  Having characters that have already been established in other movies would help to speed up the action.  We wouldn't have to sit through the Avengers' origin.  There's also Iron Man 3 that she could be in.  I suppose if the demand was big enough, maybe one day she'd star in her own spin-off movie.  There is a lot of back story to the character that could be used in its own movie.  I'm not sure if it would be enough to carry an entire film though.
     
    What are your thoughts?  Should Black Widow make more appearances in other Marvel movies?  I suppose we can't say for certain until we actually see her in Iron Man 2.

    Personally, I don't care if the character is popular or does great in the box office. Well, I do because if I do enjoy the movie, I'd like for it to continue and film companies base those decisions with the box office success. What I mean by not caring about how good it does in the box office I mean that, even if the film bombs, it doesn't mean I won't enjoy it.  
     
    My argument is with Elektra. I am probably of the minority when I say I love this film. The fact it did bad in the box office didn't affect my personal opinion on the film. And I think that whether people believe Black Widow isn't big enough to carry her own solo film, I would not be opposed to it. Every character has a story to tell. My concern as a fan would simply be the quality of the story, the acting, and the effects. I wouldn't care if it's a 200 million dollar budget film or a 50 million one. Nor would its success in the box office turn me off from watching.   
     
    As for the Avengers film, I'm so hyped for it and I don't think it will be considered overcrowded with all these characters. The reason I say this is because these films will be filled with characters that are already established in the films. Everyone from Iron Man to Hulk, Thor, Cap, and Nick Fury will all be established by the time Avengers is out. It won't be like Wolverine's film where they cramped in a lot of characters we don't know much about (at least in the film universe). Avengers will be characters who already have their stories told. And Black Widow will surely be one of them.

    first i want to see her in the role, then I'll give my opinion... 
     
    With that being said though, I think she will do a great job being the black widow. 
     
    But lets see the movie first..

    Me too!!! 
     
    She is a very good actress and she has been know to be able to hold a gun, (The Spirit) blend in as a secondary role, (The Prestiege) do stunts, (The Island) and be sexy (all of her movies) in other movies... 
     
    I would love to see her a BW movie on her own... plus in Avengers... she would be an awesome touch to the movie since I'm guessing Wasp is the only planned Woman to appear...

    Am I the only one that doesn't like Scarlet Johanssen??     And i think she is so wrong for the part.  For a starter, she is way too short to play the Black Widow. And I think she is a very hollow acctress.

    It's funny. I hadn't even thought about her in the Avengers movie. I was focusing too much on how you make a live action movie with so many super heroes and tell a good story and not be some special effect mess.
     
    I think she would really fit.

    Well I think the Avengers movie would have to be a little about the two.... 
     
    I mean it's Hi Tech (Iron man) Magic (Thor) Mad Scientist (Thor) and some realisim in it.... 
     
    That's why an Avengers movie would actually be a tough mess there all by itself

    she hasnt even proved that she did a good job in iron man II, she should know her place and know when to wait for how well people recieve her portrayal. personally i think her accent is gonna be crap, and i'd rather see her than wasp and giant man put together in an avengers film. the only reason i would want them in a movie is so ultron could be created

    I'm looking forward to see her in action.I never tought that she could be a good Black Widow until I saw the first pic about her in Iron Man 2.Too bad she can't return but I hope she'll at least will make a guest apperance in the upcoming Avengers movie. 
    Can't wait for Iron Man 2.I have  a feeling that somehow the 2nd film won't be that good as the first one.Transformers 1 was awsome but the 2nd one was a bit...well not that good.But who knows maybe Iron Man 2 will have a  major succes.Spider-Man 2 was a big succes as well.

    Now, seriously, I think she will do it good. Ahe is a very good actress, and, as far as I know, Superhero Science-Fiction is a genre she hasn't play yet.  
     
    She'd do it great, I'm sure  = )

    Black Widow was supposed to have her own movie anyway, but it got canned.  Since they already have an actress for the part, they could easily restart the movie development.

    What you talkin bout. She'll be great, I mean think about the director. After the master piece that was Ironman would he even allow her to suck? NO.
     
    Also she may not be a singer, but acting is what she does. Best-Believe this movies is going to ROCK!
     
    And yes she should come back for Avengers. But not have her own origin, keep it as a sexy mystery.

    i personally cannot wait to see her performance and i hope that she can live up to this character. it's a known fact that female movies dont get the proper treatment ( remember Catwoman, Elektra and Supergirl anyone?), so as far as her carrying a movie with this character lets just slow it down now. You gotta crawl before you walk, cant go running into things all willy nilly like....

    I gotta say I'm still not convinced about carlet as the Widow, and the picture doesnt help!
    Anyway, I hope the Avengers movie includes Black Widow! I personally always found the original 5 to be kind of boring. I wouldnt mind seeing Hawkeye, the Maximoffs, and Black Widow... too bad Wanda and Pietro didn't appear in the X movies, that way they'd already have some backstory and more chances to be in the Avengers.
