Audiences love Black Widow and have wanted to see her get a solo film for some time.
The first solo female-led MCU film, Captain Marvel, made $1.12 billion worldwide.
Black Widow is also opening around the same time that Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War found such success.
Black Widow won’t have the cosmic elements that film did, but it will have a more established character and proven box office draw in Scarlett Johansson leading it.
