It’s understandable that some fans might wonder if Yelena Belova is becoming the Black Widow.
With Natasha Romanoff’s journey having an end date, unless Marvel wanted to delve further back into her past or explore what she was up to between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, then the only way Black Widow could evolve into a film series is for someone else to take over the mantle.
And Yelena Belova would make for a suitable replacement not just because of her comic book history, but because Florence Pugh is a rising star in Hollywood.
