Look, I would have been behind a BW movie back four years ago - as soon as they realised what a fan favourite Natasha was. Now? Now, it's too little too late for me. Natasha has had a lot of character development - admittedly in other superheroes' movies, of course - but still, she's a rounded character in her own right, with agency.
They need to develop a female hero who hasn't yet been developed in the MCU (and given that it looks like Captain Marvel is going to be "time-frozen" from the 90s, they need a woman who was born this side of the 80s).
Hope Van Dyne as Wasp might do it, but I heard that she's confined to the Ant-Man line of movies because someone doesn't want to share rights?
Wanda could do it, if they could stop painting her in the victim/perpetratro dichotomy.
And yeah, they cut off a lot of avenues by making all the 'new' superheroes guys, with nary a female-coded one in sight. But I feel like adding to what Natasha has only exacerbates the problem of Only One Good Woman Who Is Also Real And Rounded, Okay That's Enough which we've had for the last five years in the MCU (Wanda joining the roster helped, but her storyline in CW didn't).
