I think they should just concentrate on someone like Valkrye or have some type of Girl Avengers spin off if a women's movie is what they are looking for. It isn't like every original Avenger had their own movie. Hulk or Hawkeye hasn't had a stand alone Marvel movie, which Hulk has the universal movies and there is some type of contract issue with a stand alone movie.

I think the Black Widow movie ship has now sailed but I think they just want to throw a bone to ScarJo for the last 10 years. She has done Lucy and Ghost in the Shell which will both be similar and neither did well at the box office. I watched Lucy and it was pretty good though.
I love ScarJo. Lucy was really good. I think Marvel missed a huge window of opportunity years ago by not following up Avengers 1 with a Hawkeye/Black Widow buddy movie where the perils of Budapest come back to haunt them. Maybe could have foreshadowed Winter Soldier too.
