Black Widow is one of the early Phase 4 films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe which was released in 2021. The film, directed by Cate Shortland, tells the story of the adventures of Scarlet Johansson’ Black Widow that took place before Avengers: Infinity War. Where he is forced to reunite with a fake family of Russian agents who are like family. Together they unite forces to destroy the Red Room program that still exists.
After being absent for a year, the Widow film itself has indirectly marked the beginning of the MCU’s post-pandemic movement. That’s why at that time many wanted to witness the adventures of Widow and his family. Moreover, one of the enemies is the Taskmaster character which is quite popular among fans. Interestingly, despite the success of the film, it turns out that the film was almost a very different story.
The Black Widow Movie Plot That Marvel Rejected
Recently, in an interview with The Wrap, series creator She-Hulk revealed that he was going to be a screenwriter for the film Black Widow. Where the script tells the story of Black Widow who is forced to meet her high school friends. Inevitably, he must overcome the repercussions of his false identity, as he had previously betrayed all of his high school acquaintances.
“I used to write the Black Widow story. Where he is in a high school as a teenage spy or a Russian secret agent. [The Russian government] put him in an American high school to kill a father,” Gao said. “20 years later, he can’t help but have a high school reunion and must deal with the effects of his fake identity. Where before he had betrayed everyone in his high school.”
Since the film has already aired with another story, we will likely never see Gao’s Black Widow story. Actually, not a few fans are curious after hearing this latest report. Generally they ask about how Yelena Belova’s role in this canceled story is, whether she becomes one of her high school friends or is she the child of the father who was killed by Widow. The answer will remain a mystery, as Gao has now found his own path with the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law currently airing on Disney+.
