" One thing we talked about a lot – and that I found really deep, but that the idea was almost too big for us to discuss, but we tried for a while, that's just the idea that a quarter of all kids do not have parents, "said director Anthony Russo.

"Assuming you started with two parents. So there are many orphans in the world. Just the staggering number of that. I believe that at a very early stage in development, Black Widow was actually running the DC organization that was in charge of the orphans. That was what she was heading for five years later. But yes, it's fascinating to start losing it, "added Joe.

Although this scenario did not happen for one reason or another, an equally sad scene occurred when we lost Black Widow while she and Hawkeye were trying to do it. to recover the stone of souls.

Avengers: The writers at the end of the game, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, discussed the decision to bring down Black Widow and explained how "her journey into the spirits [their] had ended if she could recover the Avengers. "
