Many came to believe that Avengers: Secret Wars would bring her back after she fell to her death in Avengers: Endgame. Seeing that Black Widow was an underwhelming film, it is only natural for fans to want to see more of her. However, the actress took to addressing these rumors finally.
“I feel like that’s kinda the end, right? Could it be like a vampire version of the character? I’m here for that! Or a zombie version.”
Johansson confirmed that her character got the ending she had been yearning for and to continue that would mean to deter from the legacy she left behind.
