Black Widow is reportedly set to return in "Captain America: Civil War." Producer Anthony Russo has revealed that Scarlett Johansson's famous character will be seen in "Captain America's" new instalment. Russo spilled details about the film's cast at a press conference in Beijing.

He said that he was really happy the way the film has shaped up. "We've been preparing for the movie since the one debuted last year, so we've been working on it for a long time now. Captain America 3 is gonna be called Captain America: Civil War, and it's going to star Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson will be back, Winter Soldier will be back, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man will also be joining us in the next film," he said, as quoted by Collider.

Black Widow's inclusion in the film does not come as a surprise. Her dynamics with Steve Roger/ Captain America was highly praised in the "Captain America: Winter Soldier." Her character was completely opposite to Roger and this reportedly added a new dimension to the film. Screenwriter Christopher Markus had said in one of his previous interviews that Black Widow is a "great contrast" to Rogers. She is a modern woman and is "straightforward," whereas Rogers is "reserved," reported Collider.

Black Widow and Captain America also developed an intimate relationship in "Captain America: Winter Soldier" and it is expected that their romance will be the focal point of the film. The shooting of "Captain America: Civil War" is yet to began and screenwriter Stephen McFeely is currently penning down the fourth draft of the film, according to IGN. Moreover, it has also been reported that Agent Peggy Carter will be part of the movie. She was also seen in "Captain America: Winter Soldier." A new addition to the film's cast is Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. "Captain America: Civil War" will be released in UK in April 2016, with a May release in the US. The principal photography of the film will began in two months. The cast of the film include Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. Sebastian Stan, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, Chadwick Boseman, Anthony Mackie and others.
