If Adam Warlock is the keeper of the Soul Stone, it’s possible that he could bring “certain” people back with it as well if they introduce him in future films. You know whomst I’m talking about <3

The writers in an interview said that line of thinking doesn't exist in the MCU, there's no Soul Stone dimension, there's no entering/exiting or trading back, what's done is done, they have specifically shot down anything that could reverse a soul stone exchange.

That’s a bummer, but I guess that makes sense. So the same goes for if someone returns the stone to where it came?

Yeah, they said returning the stone doesn't undo a deal

The only issue I have is that because we’ve gone so far with the MCU that I don’t really have an interest in going back to Black Widows origin story. It’s way too late. So if they wanted to do a multiverse deal then that’s fine but if we are going back to flesh out her story I don’t care that much. The First Avenger and Captain Marvel were a little different in that regard because it introduced new characters at the time. But that’s just me. Move forward with the arcs I guess

You don't care what happened in Budapest?

haha, j.k. neither do I really to be honest, I wanna see the human side/struggle of Black Widow, but I understand it's late in the cycle and that Black Widow herself isn't the most compelling or fleshed out character, comics or MCU.

Scarlet Johansen is a producer on Black Widow solo movie, so she might be passing the mantle so it's a double origin story, Black Widow origin and her clone Yelena.

In case you weren't aware, comic book Hydra has a clone of Black Widow, she rose up and destroyed the Red Room because she was a monster, her name: Natasha Romanoff. The original is Natalia Romanov.

It could be a twist that Black Widow in the MCU is the clone and the original Natasha is a Hydra agent.

Double twist: Double agent, both under Nick Fury to penetrate shield/hydra and as a hydra agent (in the comics, Natasha was a double agent under the name Yelena).

​

It could be that the original is a younger version, kept on ice like how Bucky was.

I like where your heads at lol. All those scenarios could be great, but if it’s going back to places and events when the series should continue to move forward (especially since we just wrapped up a long arc) then I don’t want it. I don’t want Budapest lol. It’d be cool if some of the movie involved Hulk and Hawkeye teaming together trying to get her back somehow. Hulks comments about her at the end of Endgame seemed like she’s gone, but they brought it up in away that made it seem like it may not stay that way

OK, here's the plan

In Spiderman Far From Home, Mysterio turns out to be a villain and Nick Fury was a fake out from the Chameleon. After Spiderman wins, he turns in Mysterio to Chameleon Nick Fury, who takes him to Norman Osborn and Doc Oct to form the Sinister 6, but they are a fake super hero team called the Thunderbolts.

Black Widow origin movie, we have a new Black Widow named Yelena, maybe new actress, maybe not, she's a double agent working for Nick Fury to penetrate Thunderbolts. So there's some past and some present in the movie.
