10 Questions About Black Widow I Hope Are Answered In Her Solo Film

The film takes place after Civil War and before Infinity War - but as the first solo Black Widow movie, I'm hoping it will delve into her past as well.

1. What did Natasha do while she was on the run after Civil War?

This is obviously the biggest question the movie's going to answer. And I'm super excited!! But I also NEED ANSWERS to the ones below. Like....

2. How did Natasha become an assassin?

We know she's trained as a child, and she doesn't know who her father is. Did she know her mother, or was she a young orphan? Why was she recruited?

3. How did she then go from Russian assassin to SHIELD agent??

We know Clint was sent by Nick Fury to kill Natasha, but decided to spare her instead, convincing her to turn from her life as an assassin (a favor she later returns). But how was he able to convince her? How did Fury ever trust her?? We need answers, Marvel (yes, I'm still mad this isn't an origin movie).

4. How did Natasha become so close to Clint's family?

Why do they know her as Aunt Nat? Did she live with them?

5. What the hell happened in Budapest??

This mystery haunts my dreams.

6. Has Natasha ever had a love interest besides Bruce?

I actually love that the first female avenger didn't need to have a love interest - I think we can all admit Bruce x Natasha was kind of out of left field. But in a solo movie I'd like them to explore this! NATASHA DESERVES LOVE.

7. Did she have any other friends or family?? Surely there must have been at least one person she cared about growing up?

She's clearly a good person at heart. Did she have some kind of mentor or friend?

8. Did Natasha stay in touch with any of the Avengers while she was on the run??

Steve and Natasha show up together in Infinity War to save Vision and Scarlett Witch. I'm going to be mad if he isn't even mentioned in this movie (don't even get me started on Hawkeye).

9. Why did she not get a funeral???

She's just literally forgotten??? She sacrificed herself to save BILLIONS without even knowing if it would work!! At least Tony knew his sacrifice would.

10. And finally: is Natasha really dead for good??

Hear me out: Cap went back in time to return all the Infinity Stones (which really could be a move in itself). I'm assuming he went to Vormir to return the Soul Stone, as the Ancient One made it clear all the stones need to be present in a universe for balance to remain. But how did he return the soul stone?? Do they have a return policy on that?? I would absolutely love a post-credits scene of the cliff on Vormir with Nat's hand gripping the stone and her rising in all her badass glory.
