The solo film gave the actress a much-needed respite.

Popular actress Scarlett Johansson, who played Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that the role in the solo Black Widow film is most likely her final appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The film Black Widow will be released on May 1, 2020 and will follow the adventures of the eponymous heroine before she joined the Avengers, her adventures with the Infinity Stones, and the war with Thanos. The actress said the film gave her a "sense of closure," so she is "unlikely to appear in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films."

In the plot of Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow sacrificed herself so that Hawkeye could obtain the Soul Stone. On the show, Scarlett Johansson said that this moment "erased her," both literally and emotionally. Filming the solo movie became a respite for the actress.

I'm so looking forward to this film. I can't wait to share it with everyone. It's incredible. Yes, I worked on it, but it's still incredible. Honestly, the film gave me the sense of closure I needed.

The actress also believes that "death is something irreversible." And although fans don't believe her character died, Scarlett thinks that "this is the end".

Marvel Studios may remove Jeremy Renner from his solo Hawkeye series. Meanwhile, renowned directors Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola criticized Marvel films, to which James Gunn, director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, responded.
