Marvel Studios recently confirmed the news that fans were dreading but nonetheless expecting, pushing Black Widow back by another six months until May 2021. The longest gap between new installments in the shared universe in over a decade just got even longer, but that means there’s another six months for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s super sleuths to try and deduce the direction of the plot.
We’ve seen a lot of footage and images from Natasha Romanoff’s long-awaited solo debut, but specifics still remain largely under wraps. There’s been speculation that Black Widow will be tied directly to the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the latest fan theory claims that Cate Shortland’s big screen prequel could explain why Bucky was tasked with assassinating Howard Stark.
David Harbour’s Red Guardian was created using the same super soldier serum that transformed Steve Rogers into Captain America, instantly tying his origins to Howard Stark. As per the theory, this suggests that the Cold War arms race also involved superheroes, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will feature both Isaiah Bradley and John Walker, two successful American test subjects.
Given his reputation as an arms magnate, Howard could have discovered Russia had created their own super soldier, and acquired samples of the serum via the black market given his close connections to both the original program and S.H.I.E.L.D. This could be the reason why the Winter Soldier was sent after him in November 1991 to stop the information falling into American hands. Not only does it tie into the MCU’s established mythology, it also connects the first two pieces in the Phase Four jigsaw and potentially explain how Tony Stark’s widely rumored Black Widow cameo fits into the narrative.
