Black Widow

Despite her ‘death’ in Avengers: End Game, Black Widow is set to star in her own movie this year.

Rumors are that it will be a prequel movie that takes place before the Avengers movies.

Scarlett Johansson is set to reprise her role and the movie promises to be a part origin and part redemption story of Black Widow.

Fans have demanded and hoped for a Black Widow film ever since the character was introduced in Iron Man 2.

Back in 1983 writer Ralph Macchio and artist George Perez collaborated on a four-part Black Widow story in the pages of Marvel Fanfare.

What makes the story so intriguing and interesting, other than the fisticuffs and requisite band of bad guys, is that it delves deeply into the origin of Black Widow.

The series recounts the Widow’s early years as a trained assassin for Russia, her missions in the U.S., her marriage, the death of her husband Red Guardian, her new love interest Hawkeye, joining the Avengers and defection to the United states.

The series traces her activities in the Marvel Universe up until 1983 and introduces some villains and an unexpected adversary taken straight from the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents: Iron Maiden.

With the growing interest in Black Widow and the probability that much that is seen in these issue is to be used in the upcoming movie Marvel Fanfare #s 10 through 13 are sure to be sought after.
