Black Widow ’s new waiver date   display more than a merechange in the press release order of Marvel film and TV productions . It may   suggest   that the two branches are more separated than initially thought . MCU lover may have expected thatBlack Widowwould be necessary to empathize elements ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , but now that the release order has been overrule , that theory can be put to rest .

Though buff have been promised that the Disney+ demonstrate would link up to the films , Black Widowis a prequel   have a lineament who , at this point in the Marvel continuity , is dead . For her influence onThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierto be significant , the   Disney+ series   would need to reach back to the same here and now in theMCU timeline thatBlack Widowis set in- right after the event ofCaptain America : Civil War - or grapple with a particular plotline   from   Natasha Romanoff ’s ( Scarlett Johansson )   struggle in her solo movie . Such interconnectivity is usual for Marvel : after all , even thoughCaptain Marvelis set foresighted beforeAvengers : Endgame , Carol Danvers ' ( Brie Larson ) introduction was vital to understandingEndgame ’s plot of ground and action sequences . And every MCU film ’s post - credits scene , starting withIron Manand Nick Fury ’s ( Samuel L. Jackson ) cameo , planted a germ for a future instalment of the franchise .

Creativity and adaptability haskept the MCU on raceway , and now , in the viewing of the unprecedented global crisis effort by COVID-19 , Kevin Feige , the architect of theMarvel Cinematic Universe , must accommodate again . He is likely thankful thatThe Falcon and the WinterSoldierisn’t   as reliant onBlack Widowas some fans had suspected .
