The Black Widow Backstory You Didn't See in Civil War


Spoilers ahead!

Captain America: Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo previously confirmed that several scenes were cut from their latest MCU film, and according to the Cap 3 novelization, one of these scenes may have shed a bit more light on the backstory of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow.

Warning: Captain America: Civil War spoilers ahead.

According to ComicBook.com, the movie's novelization includes a conversation between Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers, during which Romanoff discusses her traumatic experience in Russia when she was a young girl. There's no official word on where exactly this conversation would have appeared in the film, though fan speculation suggests it took place during Peggy Carter's funeral.

The excerpt is as follows:

Natasha studied Cap's expression of resolve. Finally, she said, "In Russia, in the Red Room, there were dozens of us. All girls, all young. We lived together. They let us be friends. Then they dropped us in the tundra, two weeks' walk from home, with just enough supplies for one of us to survive."

Cap looked at her, understanding her meaning.

"Don't let them push us into the cold," she said.

While Black Widow has yet to get a standalone film of her own, Marvel boss Kevin Feige teased the possibility back in May, saying it's "certainly the one creatively and emotionally [they] are most committing to doing." In the event Marvel does move forward with a Black Widow solo film, Joss Whedon said he would be up for directing if the studio asked.
