If they do a Balck Widow movie of course they would have her speaking in russian the only reason she doesn't in the movies so far is, as others have stated, because she was undercover as an american to fool Tony, complete with a fake name "Rushman". In A BW movie she would at the very least have flashbacks of her training in russia speaking russian (or english with an accent learning to mask it.) In which case Scarlett could get a voice coach to help her.

I mean if Jolie can do it in Salt then anyone can.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

yea i think so ....

@fodigg: We don't speak of the Elektra and Daredevil movies as being comic book/Marvel movies. It hurts too much (but I agree with your point)

lol

@Mercy_: glad you liked it :)

I'd watch it. I casually like Widow.

It sounds good but considering how "Elektra" and "Catwoman" did; maybe not.

I would say yes. Then in Captain America 2 they hopefully introduce Winter Soldier (Bucky). And then they could do a Winter Soldier and Black Widow Movie

Black Widow does not deserve to get a movie. A SHIELD movie with her one of the main characters, maybe. But her own solo movie, no.

@TheCannon: Why do you say that?

@TheCannon: Why do you say that?

Because she is and always has been nothing more than a supporting character. What are you suppose to put in a solo movie with her? The eating, talking, reading. It would basically be Elektra all over again.

Are you talking from a movie standpoint or a comic book standpoint? Movie, I can see your point, I just don't fully agree w/ it. From a comic perspective, I disagree wholeheartedly.

From both. Why do you disagree with me from a comic perspective?

To people who actually know and love the character and are aware of what she's done, her accolades stand for herself. She's had several ongoings, numerous minis, she lead the Avengers for a good time and has shown herself more than capable in times of need. She's the only person with Level 10 clearance on Earth other than Nick Fury himself.

Widow is completely capable of standing on her own. The biggest part of the problem is that Marvel simply sucks at pushing their females. If they were as adept as say, DC, she'd have a much more prominent position in the MU by this point.

As it is, she's completely capable of standing with the big boys and doing so without powers.

IMO, a solo movie with Widow would be awesome, but that's coming from a comic book reader and a lover of the character. To all the general audience who haven't read a damn comic in their life, there's a big misconception that she was put in as the eye candy, which is kind of totally BS. Natasha's been an Avenger pretty much since her inception and has one of the longest tenures on the team (not to mention leading it, as well). She does everything the big boys do and she does it without powers. A Black Widow movie would not be as successful (IMO) as any of the other movies.

However, if they did it right (spy thriller or something of the sort) and they made it a Black Widow/Hawkeye movie and further explained their past history and such, then I think it would be a great success. Maybe not as big a seller as Iron Man or Thor, which were two incredibly high-grossing movies, but a good (even great) movie nonetheless.

Okay. Now, I like Black Widow. she's not my favorite, but I like her. My problem with a Black Widow movie would be:

1) Not big enough of a name

2) No good villains (it would be Elektra all over again)

3) Where are you suppose to go with a plot? At least someone like Ant-man you can doing something with.

As long as Barnes is in there.

@ReVamp: I like you.

I half agree with this. I'm saying right now that I adore the character so I have a blatant bias, but she's well-known in the comic community and she had prominent roles in Iron Man 2 and now Avengers as well. They're going to capitalize off of that as much as possible and if they believe that it would be profitable, it's going to happen.

Hell, they made the Elektra movie (I honestly can't be bothered to check if it was the same studio, so this may be entirely irrelevant). Putting aside the quality of the film (which I don't count as a comic book movie because it was so damn terrible), it still managed to not only break even, but bring in about 13 million dollars. Not the best profilt margin, but still one, nonetheless.

2) No good villains (it would be Elektra all over again)

The Red Room could be adapted for a movie, and I don't think it would be that hard, especially if they went the spy thriller route. I will concede that Widow lacks notable enemies of her own.

3) Where are you suppose to go with a plot? At least someone like Ant-man you can doing something with.

I can think of a few off the top of my head. Red Room sending agents for her, espionage coming back to bite her in the ass. General spy movie stuff with a comic book twist.

I never even heard of Red Room.

@Mercy_: Of course you do. The only requirement for that is having good taste.

She doesn't need Villains of her own though. Think about it, how many villains in the Marvel universe will never see the light of Movie? You can use them. Just because in the comics they're not known as Widow enemies, it doesn't mean anything.

@Mercy_ said:

@TheCannon You've never heard of the Red Room? How familiar with Widow are you, considering its her origin? It doesn't really matter if you've heard of them before or not. How many people had heard of Whiplash before the Iron Man movie? Or Obadiah Stane? You don't have to have heard of something in order for it to be interesting or make sense within the plot of a movie.

Technically it was a combination of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo.

How the heck do you have a superhero movie without a villain?

@Mercy_ said:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to be fair, the Red Room is from the retconned origin from '10, not the original.

@TheCannon said:

Not without a super-villain, just without a Black Widow specific Super-Villain.

Fair point. However, my previous point still stands.

He's saying that you could take a comic book villain that belongs to somebody else (who will potentially never even be used in a movie - there are plenty of them) and adapt it for a Black Widow movie. It doesn't have to be somebody from her rogue's gallery (which is relatively non-existent) in the comics. It could be from somebody else's.

There's a good chance you're right. I read her appearances completely out of order, so everything starts to skew together.

I liked her in the Avengers

She can't even hold her own comic..why would they bother giving her a movie? If they were to make it Scarlet better be nude because that's the only way she can make up for way off portrayal of Natasha.

Neither can Blade, but he has 3 movies, a live action series, and an anime, so why couldn't Black Widow get a movie, if it flops, then it flops, at least they tried.

What villian do you think could work, I think they could do a Black Widow vs Black Widow (Yelena Belova) or maybe even Baron Strucker or Madame Hydra, or they could make up a character like they did in Bade 2

@Mercy_: Viper would be good.
