She sacrificed herself on Vormir in Endgame, yet Natasha Romanoff keeps finding her way back into the spotlight. Marvel and Hot Toys have unveiled a brand-new Black Widow collectible, and it’s got fans asking the big question again: could Scarlett Johansson return?

What Makes the Figure Special?
The sculpt refines Johansson’s likeness compared with the earlier Age of Ultron Hot Toys release. The upgraded Avengers suit glows with blue LED strips that echo her “Widow’s Sting” gauntlets. Accessories include bite gauntlets, a tactical belt, a holster, electroshock batons in extended and retracted forms, a dagger, a pistol, a rifle, blue energy-effect pieces, eight pairs of interchangeable hands and a magnetic Avengers display base.
Yelena Is Taking the Spotlight
The Direct notes that Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova is now front and center. She appears in Avengers: Doomsday art and merchandise, has her own LEGO figure and sits in the middle of the recent “Silence Your Phones” promo. The outlet suggests she could have an even bigger role than her sister, though that’s its interpretation.
Could Johansson Return?
With Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. back in Doomsday, fans wonder if she’s next, perhaps in Avengers: Secret Wars. There are hurdles:
| Factor | Detail |
|---|---|
| Her own words | In March 2025 she firmly said Natasha is dead |
| Schedule | She’s reportedly filming a secret role in The Batman: Part 2 |
| Story | Yelena is now the MCU’s new Black Widow |
Nothing is confirmed. The merchandise celebrates the character, but it’s not an announcement of a return.
