Florence Pugh Could Soon Take Over Scarlett Johansson’s Mantle in the MCU if Industry Insider’s One Prediction Comes True

Insider sources indicate that Florence Pugh’s Yelena is set to assume Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow legacy!

Some fans still harbor grudges against Marvel for how they handled Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. As one of the original Avengers, she was integral to the team and beloved by many for her. However, Marvel didn’t give her the same attention and timely solo film as they did with other OG Avengers.

When they finally did, it arrived far too late, and for some, it didn’t meet expectations. Now, with the opportunity to rectify their missteps, there’s news that Florence Pugh will be taking up the Black Widow mantle in her own way, according to an insider.

Florence Pugh Prepared to Embrace Scarlett Johansson’s Legacy

During a recent Discord chat with Alex Perez from The Coming Circus, exciting news emerged about Florence Pugh‘s involvement in multiple Marvel projects within the MCU. Some fans argue that Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow often was neglected by the studio. And the complaints do hold weight, considering the character’s standalone film arrived late despite years of fan demand. Furthermore, her unexpected demise, compounded by the lack of a proper funeral or goodbye, heightened fan frustration.

However, the film failed to meet expectations. Within this very movie, Yelena, portrayed by Florence Pugh, was introduced as Natasha Romanoff’s adopted sister and a skilled secret spy. The backstories only further proved that the sisters have been through absolute thick and thin. In the chat, Alex Perez revealed,

I can say with certainty that Florence Pugh will appear in more Marvel projects in the future. As to whether or not they’re standalone, we’ll have to wait and see.

Given Pugh’s rising star power and considering the past oversight with the Black Widow movie, this presents a prime opportunity to rectify those errors. However, for this endeavor to succeed, Marvel must take a leap of faith and ensure they get it right this time.
