There was a time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) when the only female superhero was Black Widow, played by actor Scarlett Johansson.&nbsp; 
 
Cut to `Avengers: Endgame` era, where a number of women heroes helped in defeating the ultimate villain, Thanos. Following the huge successes of recent women superhero-centric films like `Wonder Woman` (2017) and `Captain Marvel`, the MCU announced a couple of female superhero flilms during <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/star-studded-marvel-films-storm-comic-con-as-endgame-claims-record-237408">Marvel Studios` panel at the San Diego Comic-Con</a> 2019. 
 
Speaking on `Black Widow`, which is currently in the works, Johansson said, "I`m very excited about it, and I have to say, I was nervous coming here because we`re in the middle of shooting right now, so it`s not a time that you could ever share anything with anybody on any side of the movie, particularly in this universe, where everything is just so huge and the pressure`s on. But I`m really, really proud of what we showed today." 
 
Cate Shortland is directing the upcoming film, which also stars `Stranger Things` fame David Harbour, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz.&nbsp; 
 
The new film is set before the first `Avengers` film and offers insights into Johansson`s character Natasha Romanoff`s past in Budapest.&nbsp;`Black Widow` is part of Marvel`s new slate of films, where the girl power is strong.&nbsp; 
 
Angelina Jolie made a surprise appearance at Marvel Studio`s Comic-Con panel to confirm that she has joined the MCU, and will star in the studio`s upcoming film `The Eternals`, co-starring Salma Hayek. 
 
Additionally, it was <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/natalie-portman-to-play-first-female-thor-in-thor-love-and-thunder-237371">revealed that Natalie Portman</a>, who played Thor`s love interest Jane Foster in the first two `Thor` films, will star as a female Thor in the upcoming fourth film, `Thor: Love and Thunder`.&nbsp; 
 
The movie will also see the return of Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, confirmed to be the MCU`s first LGBTQ superhero.While Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlett Witch will appear in `Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness`.&nbsp; 
 
On being asked about the diversity when it came to female characters of the MCU, Johansson gushed, "It was amazing. I mean, there are a lot of women up there that I hugely admire--Angelina, Salma, Rachel, Tessa, Natalie."&nbsp; 
 
"It`s bananas. I think it`s very exciting. I think it grounds the presence of the MCU in a way. It`s very exciting to see such a diverse group of people. It`s awesome. And it`s about time," she added. 
 
The confirmed `Black Widow film` and the addition of more female superheroes to the MCU follows the massive box office successes of Marvel`s first female-led superhero film, `Captain Marvel`, which was released in March, and competitor DC Entertainment`s 2017 film `Wonder Woman`.&nbsp; 
 
`Black Widow` is all set to hit the theatres on May 1, 2020. Apart from `Black Widow`, Marvel also announced other films and series which include `Loki`, `Falcon and the Winter Soldier`, `Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings`, `WandaVision`, `Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness`, `Thor: Love and Thunder`, `Hawkeye`, `What If...?`, and `Blade`.&nbsp;

Scarlett Johansson says she "battled it out" to make a "Black Widow" movie for Marvel Studios. Her character was killed off in the superhero juggernaut "Avengers: Endgame" earlier this year, seemingly permanently. And Johansson said in an interview at Comic-Con on Saturday that she had made peace with that fate - before negotiating to make a solo film with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.
