One of the biggest criticisms to follow Black Widow ’s last was her deficiency of a funeral . During a Q&A withAvengers : Endgameco - director Joe Russo posted on Chinese websiteTencent QQ(and translated byReddit ) , the lack of this scene was finally address . In distinctive Russo fashion though , he suggest many potential explanations for why it ’s not in the moving-picture show .
Did you forget when the hoagie where mourning for her after when they returned from past tense ? Maybe her funeral happen off silver screen . Maybe it will be demonstrate in next installment , because there are still tons of tarradiddle in MCU that are waitress to be tell .
to boot , conscientious objector - author Christopher Markus fall in his own account for why a funeral for Black Widow is n’t in the movie . As Markus toldThe New York Times , " Tony gets a funeral . Natasha does n’t . That ’s partly because Tony ’s this massive public figure and she ’s been a goose egg the whole metre . It was n’t of necessity fair to the character to give her a funeral . “These two combined explanations are n’t likely to break up any ill about the deficiency of the scene though . The Avengers mourned Tony ’s death in good order when it happened and he still receive a funeral , while her spy position is hardly an explanation as she was also very publically a hero sandwich .
The entire send off for Black Widow is further muddy up by the fact that a soloBlack Widowfilm is presently pitch up for production to begin , so many know thatwe’ll be take care her again . It would be highly odd if her funeral was shown here or in a different MCU cinema too , so this position is potential just going to be like the lack of Han Solo ’s funeral in the newStar Warsfilms , where such a panorama never finds it place in the larger story . Then again , possibly Black Widow ’s funeral will bind back into the MCU somehow , giving many the aspect fromAvengers : Endgamethey were looking for .
