So it’s only natural to wonder whether Pugh and Yelena will become the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Black Widow, and appear in future Avengers movies using that name.
That family includes Yelena Belova, played by Florence Pugh. In Marvel’s comics, Yelena becomes the second character to use the Black Widow identity.
In Black Widow, set before the events of Endgame, Natasha reunites with the “family” of fellow spies she left behind many years earlier.
Although the two women were rivals for years, after Natasha’s death in the pages of Marvel Comics (she got better), Yelena adopted the Black Widow name for herself.
