A second member of The Avengers may be joining Spider-Man: Homecoming.
In addition to Robert Downey Jr., possibly Scarlett Johansson may be appearing in Spider-Man: Homecoming as Black Widow.
The tidbit comes from a Twitter account that has been posting Spider-Man: Homecoming set photos out of Atlanta.
“Well, well… hi Scarlett. What’cha doing here?” the Atlanta Filming Twitter account posted.
The account also posted that Robert Downey Jr. had returned to the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming the day before, so it’s likely Tony Stark and Black Widow would be featured in the scene.
Scarlett Johannson did recently finish filming on Ghost in the Shell so she does have time to shoot Spider-Man: Homecoming, and if she is in the movie, more than likely it’s in a cameo role.
Below you can check out some Spider-Man: Homecoming set photos from the Twitter account.
Chris Evans has also stated he wants to appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but as of now, the only Avenger confirmed is Robert Downey Jr.
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.

While Joss Whedon has taken a bit of a break following The Avengers 2, Whedon recently said he would like to return to Marvel.
Well, how about directing the Black Widow movie?
Whedon told IGN (via Yahoo) that he would be all up for it.
“If someone pointed at me and said, ‘Do you want to do a Black Widow movie?’, the answer would be, ‘Duh!’” Whedon said. “For two reasons: I think that character really is very interesting and very earthbound, so it’s the kind of action that I got to do less of with somebody like Thor or The Vision… Also, Scarlett Johansson is just delightful. She works really hard but she just spends most of her time cracking me up, so it would be a fun shoot.”
Whedon continues with mention that his version of a Black Widow movie would be more of a spy thriller and less of a super hero flick: “…a good, paranoid, John le Carré-on-crack kind of thing.”
Marvel Studios hasn’t announced a Black Widow movie yet, and it has left fans shaking their heads as to why.
Scarlett Johansson has proved she can carry her own movie as Lucy was a whopping success and wasn’t even a part of the Marvel brand. In addition, Scarett Johansson also happens to be Hollywood’s top grossing actress, and she next stars in Ghost in the Shell.
The good news is that Marvel themselves have taken notice and are aware of the potential of a Black Widow movie.
“It’s a no-brainer, right?” Anthony Russo told Collider back in May. “I don’t think [it’ll take] much,” added Joe Russo. “I think it’s just a function of where on the slate it goes. She’s a badass.”
Fan-favorite Marvel concept artist Andy Park has posted more images on his official Instagram account.
This time we are treated to pics of Nick Fury, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Ant-Man and Ultron Mark 1.
Nice!
Captain America: Civil War Final Trailer w/Spider-Man
Following all the outcry surrounding the lack of merchandise for Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and every other Marvel movie, now a batch of Black Widow toys is being released for Captain America: Civil War.
EW.com debuted the following images of various Scarlett Johansson Black Widow toys, collectibles, and apparel.
Now all we need is the Black Widow movie.
“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.
Synopsis:
Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

If Marvel Studios was ever to make a Black Widow solo movie, would Anthony and Joe Russo, the directors behind Captain America: Civil War, be interested?
You betcha.
Anthony and Joe Russo were asked about a Black Widow movie while doing press for the Chinese. Here is what they had to say:
“Hell, yeah. We love that character,” Joe Russo responded.
“And we love Scarlett [Johansson],” Anthony Russo added.
“We find that the character is one of the richest, if not the richest character, in the Marvel universe,” Joe Russo said. “A very complex character, who is haunted by demons and her understanding of the world is fascinating. I think there is a lot that can be done with that character.”
Regarding Black Widow in Captain America: Civil War, Anthony Russo said:
“Her and Captain America, I think their relationship came to a very intersting place in The Winter Soldier. They developed a trust of one another that was really intersting. One of our favorite parts of that movie was the relationship between him and her. And so because they have such a thick emotional relationship, yes, in Civil War, of course we are going to use that. She has a very important role in Civil War, it’s a very complicated role in Civil War, and it goes very much to the heart of the relationship of her and Captain America.

A big complaint amongst the Marvel fans is that Disney skipped out on Black Widow merchandise for The Avengers 2.
Disney and Hasbro even went so far as changing a scene from the movie to remove Black Widow in the toy.
Mark Ruffalo and George Takei even had complaints.
The good news is that same can’t be said for Wonder Woman and Batman Vs. Superman.
This week sees the Licensing Expo out of Las Vegas in which various studios and merchandisers exhibit their plans for the related movies.
WB already announced their slate of products, which also included a Jakks Pacific Batman Vs. Superman announcement today.
Now in a report over at LicenseMag.com, it’s noted Wonder Woman will be featured promintently in Batman Vs. Superman merchandising.
“Our comprehensive program will include Wonder Woman in the merchandise lines and in standalone products supporting the film. We have always had a robust line for Wonder Woman, and her role in this film and future films offers us more opportunities to feature her character and empowering attributes in many creative ways.”
“This is the first time ever that fans will see Batman and Superman together in a theatrical event. And let’s not forget the two new Batsuits, a new Batmobile, the Batwing, a new logo and Wonder Woman that all create really merchandisable elements for our partner. We have had phenomenal success with each character in their own world, but now we are able to supercharge the opportunity based on the most universally recognized Super Heroes.”
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.
