Summary. Scarlett Johansson addressed rumors of Black Widow's return in an upcoming MCU project, stating she had no awareness of any plans. She joked it would have to be a "zombie film." Johansson confirmed that Black Widow is dead after sacrificing herself in Avengers: Endgame to get the Soul Stone on Vormir.
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."
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.
However, Red Skull told Hawkeye that Black Widow's death is permanent. 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.

Why couldn t Natasha be brought back?
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.
At age 15, Yelena Belova is chosen as a candidate to become the new Black Widow, an elite Russian intelligence operative. The title's previous holder, Natasha Romanoff, AKA Black Widow, was no longer loyal only to Russia so they needed a replacement.
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.
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.
Thor. Thor, the god of Thunder, was undoubtedly the most powerful member of the original Avengers. His power continues to grow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
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.
Evans doesn't completely deny the possibility of returning, but emphasizes the need for a perfect project. He values the Captain America role and would only consider a return if the opportunity is just right.
During an interview with Empire, Sebastian Stan stated that Bucky is not mentally prepared to continue Steve's legacy. Considering that Bucky has lost not just his family and best friend but is healing from practically 70s years of trauma, the pressure of being Captain America would naturally be suffocating.
"Chris has been in love with Alba for a while," the source said at the time." They share a special connection and are so happy to be husband and wife. Chris is in a really great place in his life. He feels happy with his career and was ready to settle down.
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed that Iron Man 4 is indeed in the works. While negotiations continue for his return, this would mark his 7th appearance in a standalone Marvel movie and his 9th outing as Tony Stark in total.
The threequel revealed that 2014-Gamora had gone on to join the Ravagers since the events of Endgame. She acts as though she doesn't know Peter and the Guardians because she really doesn't – this Gamora isn't the Gamora we watched in the first two Guardians movies.
We assumed that she probably disappeared back to space. After all, 2014 Gamora was technically still part of Thanos' army. She probably had some things to sort out having betrayed her adoptive father and witnessed his death at the hands of the Avengers. Ultimately, the scene was cut due to its redundancy.
She is first introduced as Kate Bishop and in issue #12 she takes up the Hawkeye mantle as the original Hawkeye was dead at the time after being killed in Avengers #502.
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).
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.
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.
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.
Hulk later volunteered to wear the Infinity Gauntlet to counteract the effects of Thanos' snap, but was unable to bring Natasha back. 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.
It's also what he wanted for Steve. Like anybody that ends up traumatized by a war experience, he was affected by it for the rest of his life. So, what felt like a desire there was for a restart - for him and for Steve in a way. It didn't necessarily feel like the shield was gonna be that.
Bucky received a version of the super-serum from Zola and the Red Skull when he was imprisoned at Anzano, before being rescued by Steve. Also, Hydra kept him on ice in a cryo-tube between missions, so he was preserved by that as well, just as Steve was preserved by the serum and freezing.
