She's gone forever. Bruce even says, after snapping everyone back, that he tried as hard as possible to bring Natasha back with the Gauntlet, and he couldn't do it. She didn't come back because her sacrifice cannot be undone.
Hulk couldn't bring her back because you can't use the power of the stones to resurrect her as the exchange is permanent, but when Cap goes back to return the stone he could exchange the stone back for her soul.
Why didn t Black Widow come back when the Soul Stone was 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.
However, after Banner lost control of the Hulk and rampaged South Africa, he began to be wary of his place on the team and saw himself as more of a danger than a hero. Ultimately, the assumed explanation for a Bruce and Natasha relationship not coming to fruition was that it would simply never work.
Los Angeles: Actress Scarlett Johansson, known for her role as Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2' and the 'Avengers' movies, including 2021's 'Black Widow', has announced that she does not intend to make a comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Black Widow sadly gave up her life to save others in Avengers: Endgame, and Hawkeye gave even more meaning to her Marvel Cinematic Universe death. In Hawkeye, Clint Barton's holiday plans with his kids get upended when Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) started wearing his old Ronin outfit while fighting criminals.
Though the character of Black Widow died in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, Johansson did reprise the role for the 2021 prequel Black Widow. The Avengers star confirmed she's finished with the MCU, but noted that it was “such a unique experience.”
Later, the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) says that he tried to wish Black Widow back into existence when he held the Infinity Stones, but that it wasn't possible because, as Red Skull confirmed, the magic of the Soul Stone requires a permanent sacrifice.
It was revealed in Age of Ultron, that Bruce and Natasha both had romantic feelings for each other. Since she was in love with Hulk, Natasha was no longer scared by him. By then, Natasha was the one who was able to get to Hulk by reciting a small statement.
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.
Gamora was sacrificed by Thanos in the Infinity Timeline. Bc they went back to multiple dates before Thanos could even get to the stones, he never got to the point of sacrificing her for the soul stone, because Clint and Natasha went there first. So, Natasha simply ceased to exist in the original End Game timeline.
She is valuable to the extent that her pain can motivate them. In Endgame, Black Widow sacrifices her life so that Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, can retrieve the Soul Stone, which will grant the rest of the Avengers the power to bring back everyone who died when Thanos snapped his fingers during Infinity War.
Both Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) died on Vormir to unlock the Soul [...] Both Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) died on Vormir to unlock the Soul Stone, but the Gamora still alive by the close of Avengers: Endgame is a past version displaced from 2014.
If Natasha had survived her time on Vormir, and Clint had sacrificed himself instead, she would have been able to return home with the Soul Stone and participate in the final battle against Thanos.
We know that the Russian-born Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was trained as a spy/assassin in a secretive academy known as the Red Room, which disguised itself as a ballet school. All the "Black Widows" were sterilized, so Natasha is unable to bear children.
If Natasha hadn't sacrificed herself on Vormir to bring everyone back, she would've joined her family in order to free every Black Widow in the world. After all, this was also a personal cause for her and, after the Battle of Earth, she would've had some free time.
During the War, the young Natasha served in the Russian army where she fell in love with another young soldier named Nikolai. Despite their initial happiness, their union did not end blissfully. Nikolai was killed in the war and the baby girl they conceived did not survive birth.
In an alternate 1949, Carter was met by Rogers after completing his tasks. They lived a happy life together and were married. Steve still wore his wedding band when he reunited with Sam Wilson in 2023, but Steve chose to keep the details of his life with Peggy to himself rather than sharing them with his old friend.
The romance between Bruce and Natasha fizzled out after “Age of Ultron,” mainly because Bruce/Hulk went flying into space and teamed up with Chris Hemsworth's Thor in 2017's “Thor: Ragnarok.” MCU fans expected Bruce's return to earth in “Infinity War” and his reunion with Natasha to resurface the fan-favorite storyline ...
By the end of the film, Yelena is so devastated by Natasha's death, that she's willing to listen to Val—a stranger—when she tells her that Clint Barton is responsible for Black Widow's demise (which occurred in Avengers: Endgame).
Who is the woman with Yelena at the end of Black Widow?
This quiet moment is interrupted by Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who blows her nose and says she's allergic to the Midwest. Val has Yelena's next target: Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye.
Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame saw Thanos' Infinity War snap reversed, but while most of the fallen heroes returned, those who died before Thanos' snap weren't so lucky, including Gamora. Endgame, however, brought Gamora back thanks to the Time Heist, allowing her 2014 self to journey to the present.
Chris Evans Isn't Returning to Marvel Any Time Soon, But “Never Say Never” The man once known as Captain America talks about resisting a “cash grab” sequel and why he agrees with Quentin Tarantino about Marvel movies in a new GQ profile.
I remember in my late 20s having a real shift in how I felt on set, how I felt promoting films: a little more anxiety, a little more uncertainty. You always end up questioning, Is this what I should be doing?... I just wasn't sure if I was moving closer to myself or further away.
