Although Black Widow is primarily set after the events of Civil War, the post-credits scene jumps ahead to 2023, with Yelena standing over Natasha’s grave. This means the movie’s final conclusion is post-Endgame, a movie in which Natasha sacrifices herself on the planet Vormir so that the Avengers can secure the Soul Stone. What did Natasha do in between all of this? Well, in 2018, at the start of Infinity War, she’s reteamed with Steve Rogers, so, presumably, she takes a couple of years to find him again. Then five years pass in between Infinity War and Endgame, when Natasha finally gets involved in the time heist, along with Hawkeye.

Now, how the hell does Lady Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) know that Hawkeye was the only other person hanging out with Natasha when she died? Did the Red Skull call her up and tell her? This detail is unclear. We know Natasha dies on Vormir, but what the Black Widow post-credits presupposes is that the Avengers made the particulars of her death known to enough people that Lady Val could figure it out. Either way, yes: Natasha is very much dead. Scarlett Johansson has stated clearly that she has no plans to return as Natasha. This makes Black Widow not only Natasha Romanoff’s triumphant big-screen return but her bittersweet coda as well.
