In a new audience withTotal Film(viaGamesRadar ) , Pugh was asked about her future within the MCU as a likely young Black Widow . Unsurprisingly , she did n’t say anything definitive about what will arrive afterBlack Widow , instead adopting a " wait and see " mentality . Pugh excuse :

If you get asked to be in a Marvel pic , and it was so thrilling and fun and exciting to be in , then of track , your head goes : ‘ Oh my God . If this is what it ’s like , then what else is next ? ' If that happens and I am lucky enough that the great unwashed appreciate my character , that ’s an exciting road to go on . I would be goofy to not be excited by it . I think that being part of the Marvel club is a peachy honor . But we ’ll just see if people like Yelena first .

Without knowing the events ofBlack Widow , it ’s comfortable to say Yelena would be the staring person to fill Natasha ’s shoes going forrad . The two have similar skill sets , and Yelena ’s electric discharge could mirror Natasha ’s as someone who was once an assassin but now seeks to protect those who can not protect themselves . Eagle - eyed fans have already notice thatNatasha ’s costume fromAvengers : Infinity Warmatches Yelena ’s inBlack Widow , suggest the two have a very potent trammel that could moderate to Yelena taking her large sister ’s spot in the Avengers . However , it could also mean Yelena wo n’t surviveBlack Widow ; it ’s too early to say .

maltreat outside the story for a moment , Marvel has a propensity to bring back actors multiple prison term , even when it seems unbelievable . It would be unpaired to have Pugh play someone as substantial as Yelena and not bring her back in a succeeding installment . Marvel wo n’t say anything about Yelena ’s future appearances untilBlack Widowcomes out , though as of flop now , it’svery indecipherable about when that will be . Nevertheless , Black Widowwill give fans a better estimation of what ’s next for Yelena - if anything is .
