Common logic would dictate that the Black Widow movie is going to be a prequel. Well, duh. Avengers: Endgame had that moment, so attention naturally turns to how far back things will go for Natasha Romanoff’s solo film. But it’s probably not going to be an origin story - which might surprise some.
In fact, the Black Widow movie could be smack-bang in the middle of Marvel Phase 3’'s timeline . How do we know? A leaked product placement shot, of all things. 2019 is the gift that never stops giving.
As spotted by Nacao Marvel, a Portuguese Twitter account, a recent photo has emerged of Scarlett Johansson driving with the top down while filming the Black Widow movie. She’s not just driving any car, though. It’s (apparently) a BMW Series 5 Touring Wagon. Stick with me, that’s important. Honest.
That particular BMW was released in 2017. Unless someone’s made a big production goof, that places the Black Widow movie at some time after Captain America: Civil War in 2016 and before Avengers: Infinity War in 2018.
A 2017 setting keeps things relatively fresh (everything post-Civil War is relatively uncharted territory in terms of what most of the Avengers-in-hiding were up to), while also being close enough to the Snap to, crucially, introduce any new Black Widow stand-ins moving forward.
