It's possible that Hulk tried to convince Natasha to return to the land of the living and she refused. Conversely, she may have been unable to leave the Soul Stone because her sacrifice was permanent.
Black Widow was part of the Time Heist team in Avengers: Endgame, but in order for her and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) to get the Soul Stone from Red Skull in Vormir, she sacrificed herself.
According to Johansson, her character's death was so definitive, it would take a "miracle" for Black Widow to be brought back logically. When asked if she would revive the character, Johansson said, "I would have...it would be a miracle. It would be a real Marvel miracle. It would be a marvel.
In not so many words, Bruce confirmed that he did have feelings for Natasha, but his fear was too great, and he felt that she would be in danger if she stayed with him. Natasha wouldn't take no for an answer, and the conversation quickly devolved into an argument.
Following the Battle of Earth with Thanos, Bruce admitted to Steve that when he had the gauntlet and the stones he tried to bring Natasha back, adding that he missed her.
Black Widow Was Traumatized by Hulk Before She Met Banner
So when Natasha meets Bruce in The Avengers, it's having experienced the destructive potential of several gamma monstrosities (including Samuel Sterns' Leader, whose transformation into a gamma being is actually shown in the comic.)
The Russo Brothers claim that the Soul Stone only works as a one-way exchange. While Red Skull does say “An everlasting EXCHANGE. A soul FOR A soul.” he really means, you must exchange a soul to get the soul stone, not that you can exchange the soul stone for a soul. So, in short, Natasha wasn't allowed to come back.
The relationship between Bruce Banner and Black Widow was unique to the MCU. While their romance never really took off, it was clear they had feelings for one another, and those feelings made Natasha the only one who could calm down the Hulk - but her MCU lullaby doesn't work at all in the comics.
It turns out anyone able of holding his hand out can, doesn't it? Only people who are considered worthy are able to wield mjolnir. Cap was deemed worthy in endgame, that is why he was able to hold mjolnir.
Both 2018 Gamora and 2023 Black Widow's deaths are irreversible, part of an everlasting exchange preventing their resurrection. Where Gamora goes from here will be determined by Guardians of the Galaxy franchise writer-director James Gunn, who will return to Marvel Studios to helm Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
"Tony Stark's story is far from over," Downey said. "Iron Man 4 will explore new dimensions of the character and his legacy through the eyes of Morgan. It's an honor to continue this journey and see where it leads." Feel free to express your thoughts on this exciting project by leaving a comment below.
Red Skull (Stonekeeper) : Welcome, Natasha, daughter of Ivan, Clint, son of Edith. Natasha Romanoff : Who are you? Red Skull (Stonekeeper) : Consider me a guide. To you, and to all who seek the soul stone.
Marvel finally explained Black Widow sacrificed herself in Avengers: Endgame to save Hawkeye's family and her own chosen family, the Avengers. Hawkeye's guilt over his past actions as Ronin and Natasha's belief in not judging people on their worst mistakes drove their decision to want to sacrifice themselves on Vormir.
Is it possible to bring Black Widow back after the events of Endgame? No. Red Skull himself states that it is an everlasting exchange. It was a sacrifice that cannot be undone.
The original Avengers went outside the Compound, taking some time to mourn Romanoff by the lake. Thor suggested that they could use the Infinity Stones they had collected to bring her back, but Barton told them that, according to the stone's Guardian, she couldn't come back.
Nat's funeral wouldn't have been a respectful private gathering, it would have been an international event. Nat may be gone, and she may never have known her biological family, but what Black Widow really hammers home is that her found family and her sphere of influence was massive.
In a world where emotion is used for exploitation and manipulation, Natasha's love for her sister makes her especially vulnerable. By looking for Yelena or sharing the truth about her past, Natasha would put herself in a bad tactical position.
Romanova eventually discovers this, including the fact that she had never, as she had believed, been a ballerina. She further discovers that the Red Room is still active as "2R". The KGB arranged a marriage between Natasha and the renowned Soviet test pilot Alexei Shostakov.
Black Widow's first romantic relationship was with Nikolai, a soldier she met while both were serving with the Russian Army during WWII. The young soldier had no backstory, but Natasha and Nikolai fell in love and eventually married.
Did Hawkeye love Black Widow and did she love him in return? While never explicitly stated in the films leading up to Avengers: Endgame, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton have a romantic connection in their relationship, though they couldn't consummate it for various reasons.
For one of the closest friends in Black Widow's life, having to fight over who would sacrifice themself was an emotionally draining task. Natasha's last words were “Let me go,” before letting go of Clint's hand and falling to her death off the cliff on Vormir.
Is Black Widow alive if the Soul Stone is returned?
In the end of Endgame, Captain America had to return the Soul Stone, but did that revive Black Widow? No. Red Skull does not say that returning the stone could revive the dead people. Gamora and Black Widow are still dead, and their heads were bleeding.
Red Skull was cursed to become the guardian of the Soul Stone for over seven decades, rendering him unable to leave the planet throughout these years, only able to advise those who came onto the planet seeking the Soul Stone.
