Anthony Russo discusses dropped Black Widow plot from AVENGERS: ENDGAME

The Wrap has been keeping a close eye on the Russo Brothers as they have been discussing Avengers: Endgame now the spoiler ban has lifted.

In an interview on the Slate.com, Anthony Russo said, “One thing that we talked about a lot–and I thought was really profound, but it was almost too large of an idea for us to wrangle, but we did try for a while–is just the idea that one-quarter of all children have no parents.”

The director went on to discuss how they planned for Romanov to lead a Washington D.C. team in charge of caring for these orphans.

Could this have humanised the character more ahead of her eventual death?
