Johansson confirmed that Black Widow is dead after sacrificing herself in Avengers: Endgame to get the Soul Stone on Vormir.
In a recent interview with Today (via Screen Rant), Johansson has addressed the rumors about her possible return to the MCU, assuring that she has no idea about those alleged plans by Marvel Studios, joking that if it were to happen, it would be a “zombie film.” She also confirms that Black Widow is definitely dead ...

Spoiler alert: Natasha is no more. Avengers: Endgame saw Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) sacrifice herself at Vormir to obtain the Soul Stone, helping to undo the Thanos snap which saw 50% of the universe disintegrate.
Scarlett Johansson Reveals If She Will Return To Play ‘Black Widow’ Again (Exclusive)
Is Black Widow gone for good?
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.
Given time, Tony could have found a more dramatic way to get the job done, but a snap was the best quick solution. Tony Stark probably just wished for Thanos' army to fade to dust.
Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow died in Avengers: Endgame, with her solo film spotlighting the character's backstory and also introducing the MCU's new Black Widow, Yelena Belova. The role is a major one, as Pugh has appeared in multiple projects, with more upcoming MCU movies, like Thunderbolts, on the way.
Yelena Belova appears in media set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by Florence Pugh. This version is a sister to Natasha Romanoff and was trained to be a Black Widow alongside her in the Red Room. Pugh first appears in the live-action film Black Widow (2021).
Phase Four's group of films began with Black Widow (2021), and was followed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), Eternals (2021), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).
Robert Downey Jr is open to returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with Esquire, the actor said he'd happily play Tony Stark aka Iron Man in future movies if Marvel gods want him to.

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.
At the end of the film, Captain America does go back to a time before Black Widow died, but the problem with bringing back a Black Widow from that time is: 1) she may not want to go into her future with him, and 2) he doesn't know how to bring someone from the past back to the future.
Why couldn't the infinity stones bring Natasha back?
Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) was not one of those people, because she died by sacrificing her life in exchange for Clint Barton (Hawkeye) receiving the Soul Stone. (Hulk tried to bring her back, but the Soul Stone wouldn't allow it).
In addition to bringing back the dusted, Hulk also attempted to resurrect Black Widow. However, he was positive she wasn't among the revived afterwards. A thoughtful new theory suggests that Hulk's certainty on the matter stemmed from having glimpsed her inside the Soul Stone.
Back in July 2021, Johansson told Fatherly that she "has no plans to return as" the assassin-turned-Avenger, who seemingly takes her final bow in Black Widow. "I feel really satisfied with this film," she said. "It feels like a great way to go out for this chapter of my Marvel identity."
Natasha chose to be the sacrifice and so, Romanoff was 39 years old when she died, but the time travel in Avengers: Endgame creates a little bit of a complication. Romanoff and Barton used the Quantum Realm to journey back to 2014 so they could beat Thanos (Josh Brolin) to the Soul Stone by 4 years.
In this mini-series, Yelena has a conversation with another character where they ask her if she is a lesbian, to which she replies with, “No I'm not a lesbian, I'm not anything.” In 2021, writer David K Grayson confirmed her asexuality, officially making her the first confirmed asexual character in the Marvel Universe!
Natasha Romanoff was born in the Soviet Union as Natalia Alianovna Romanova (Наталия Альяновна Романова). Although her exact parentage is unknown, it is rumored that she is related to the late Romanov dynasty—the former rulers of Russia—but those claims have so far been unproven.
Yelena Belova is sworn to secrecy, but Florence Pugh isn't (for the most part). Pugh, who is set to reprise her role as the Marvel spy in the upcoming film “Thunderbolts,” offered a playful sneak peek at the set of the crime-action flick in an Instagram video posted Wednesday.
Moreover, the question makes the assumption that Dreykov allowed Natasha to escape the Red Room. She's already escaped the Red Room. with the help Clint Barton who refused to execute a kill order to take Natasha. She and Clint Barton went to Budapest and failed to take out Dreykov.
We know that Gamora wasn't at Tony Stark's funeral - unsurprising considering that she didn't know him, really - so she must have fled after the battle was won.
The Hulk saw an alternate reality when he snapped his fingers: In the first vision, the Hulk saw the Russo brothers logically following the battle arena theme from Ragnarock into Infinity War and Endgame.
Why did Thanos spare Iron Man an Infinity War? Well, of course, it's because he made a bargain with Doctor Strange. But Thanos had every opportunity to break that deal. and kill him after getting the stone, which would have stopped them from defeating him in.
