For the past few years , fans have been wanting a Black Widow Film since her first appearance in 2010's Iron Man 2. Scarlett herself and co-star Anthony Mackie has even suggested a Black Widow solo film. This movie could be excited and let fans and new audiences get to see a glimpse into her previous lifestyle and her backstory. Her backstory was teased in the first Avengers movie and also Avengers: Age of Ultron . I put together a list of characters who i would think , fit into this film along with actors/ actresses who could play them.

1. SCARLETT JOHANSSON as BLACK WIDOW

Scarlett had portrayed Black Widow since 2010's Iron Man 2 and many other Marvel Films including:

The Avengers

Captain America ; The Winter Soldier

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Captain America: Civil War

She would also be reprising her role as the character in 2018's Avengers : Infinity War.

Born circa 1928, Natalia "Natasha" Romanova was apparently orphaned as a child when she was trapped in a burning building during an early attack on Stalingrad by enemy forces. Ivan Petrovitch Bezukhov, a Soviet soldier, found Natasha in the inferno and rescued her. Although Ivan kept a close eye on Natasha as she grew, by the late 1930s she had attracted the attention of Soviet intelligence, which began her training. In 1941, she was almost brainwashed into serving the ninja clan the Hand. Black Widow Program, a team of elite female sleeper agents. Among the Widows instructors was the Winter Soldier, formerly Captain Americas sidekick Bucky (James Barnes); Natasha studied as a ballerina to cover for her true occupation. The Soviet state eventually arranged for Natasha to marry Alexi Shostakov, a champion test pilot. After a few years of a happy marriage, the KGB faked Shostakovs death in a rocket test; grief for Shostakov drove Natashas resolve deeper and she continued her education with the Red Room Academy, finally being appointed the title of the Black Widow.

2. SEBASTIAN STAN as THE WINTER SOLDIER

Bucky Barnes was prominent to Black Widow's origin story and it could be interesting to see this film be a team-up between Natasha and Bucky.

Sebastian Stan is a Romanian-American actor, known for his role as James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes / Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In 2005 the original Bucky was brought back from supposed death as the brain-washed assassin Winter Soldier, and later briefly assumed the role of Captain America when Steve Rogers was presumed to be dead.

Belova is an amoral spy and assassin who was trained at the Red Room by the same spymasters who trained Natasha Romanoff, the first Black Widow. After the death of her trainer, Pyotr Vasilievich Starkovsky, she is activated as the new Black Widow and deployed to investigate. She apprehends and eliminates his killer, unaware that both his murder and the investigation were part of a ploy to get Belova to assert herself as the new Black Widow.[2] Believing herself to be the rightful successor to the title of "Black Widow", Yelena enthusiastically volunteers for a mission that will put her at odds with Natasha, although the meeting and confrontations between the two do not lead to a decisive battle.

Along with several other individuals, Vindiktor was part of a ruse to draw out the Black Widow for assassination, using a non-existent diary of Black Widow's mother as bait. When Black Widow arrived for the diary, Vindiktor attempted a long-range ambush with his firearm from above, but the Widow, sensing a set-up, evaded the gunfire. The person with the "diary" ran toward Vindiktor's position, and the Black Widow followed, ending up in a close-quartered confrontation with him. Midway through the scuffle, Vindiktor eluded to Widow that he was her brother, and he shared his disgust about how differently the paths of their lives had diverged: he as a criminal and she as a hero. After this revelation, the battle continued anew and moved to the top of a silo. A swipe from Vindiktor's massive sword coupled with the great weight of his armor crumbled away the portion of the silo he stood upon, sending him plummeting toward impalement on a metal beam. Presumably, he died after being skewered.
