Who Plays Black Widow in ‘What If…?’ — Hint: It’s Not Scarlett Johansson

Although Scarlett isn’t returning to What If…? to reprise her role as Black Widow, most of the MCU’s original cast members are part of the animated series. Jeremy Renner returns as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, and even Samuel L. Jackson comes back as Nick Fury. So two of Natasha’s biggest allies are original MCU cast members, and Lake has pretty great chemistry with them.

Some other original cast members aren’t joining the What If…? cast though. It’s been confirmed that both Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans aren’t in the cast of What If…? although several of their allies are also coming back to play their original characters.

We already heard Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, so we’re excited to hear how the voices in the rest of the anthology series pan out.

New episodes of What If…? drop every Wednesday on Disney Plus.

For as long as Tom can remember, he has understood the reality around him through the tinted glasses of works of fiction, be it books, films, TV shows, or anime. An English graduate, he wrote articles on a wide array of topics for several years, from entertainment and pop culture to history and literature. Before that, he was an educator and a roleplay game writer and developer. It is his deeply-rooted love for performing arts and visual media that led him to become a part of the DC team in 2020.
