Black Widow is breaking box office records worldwide with good reviews from the specialized press. But knowing the pull that They have all the productions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Why has it taken so many years to have a solo movie? The reason, apart from the complex phase construction devised by Kevin Feige, could be at the risk involved until a few years ago to make films starring heroine women.
From the original Avengers, right now the only one that follows without own history in the cinema is Hawk’s Eye, which will finally have a series to present to the one that will be its successor. The idea of what to tell the story of Natasha Romanoff It has been on the minds of Marvel executives for many years. But it is true that when it was raised, the first bars of phase 1 were beginning to be woven. At that time it seemed unthinkable to create a Marvel movie with a female character as the protagonist. Not because it couldn’t generate interest, or because it was difficult to create, but rather because of the antecedents that both Marvel and DC had experienced in theaters. On the part of The House of Ideas, Elektra the character presented in Daredevil was an absolute economic disaster and in the case of DC, Catwoman’s financial losses They surely made more than one company executive put their hands to their heads.
However, the Wonderwoman from Gal Gadot breaking the locker, opening the door to the uncertain confidence that existed due to the relevance of these characters to the public. Later Marvel would understand the need to adapt more female characters to their supergroup, so they produced the film of Captain Marvel, the strongest Avenger (with permission from Thor and Hulk). Another key point that the company has been improving, at the same time that the industry evolved, was that Black Widow stopped being such a sexualized character and build, around her, interesting concepts such as guilt for her past or the friendship with Ojo hawk.
Finally the bad thing about being so late is that now all the fans want to continue seeing Scarlett Johansson in the role and she already misses the character. Kevin Feige knows that Black Widow will not be the last prequel to review a character’s past, therefore it would not be strange if the Russian spy appeared once more on the big screen.
