The Marvel Cinematic Universe: Connection Between Deadpool and Black Widow
For many Marvel fans, the world of superheroes is filled with connections, easter eggs, and exciting revelations. Among these intricate webs of relationships, an interesting possible connection exists between Deadpool, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, and Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson.
Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson were, in fact, once married. While both have moved on to have successful lives and careers post-divorce, their past union has offered intriguing possible connections for keen-eyed fans to find within their respective roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Sneaky Deadpool Reference to Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson portrayed the deadly yet captivating agent Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow, in the MCU. Debuting in Iron Man 2, she successfully reprised her role in eight subsequent films, including the 2021 standalone film, ‘Black Widow'. Throughout her journey in the MCU, her character had a number of love interests, one of whom was Bruce Banner, or the Incredible Hulk.
In the Avengers: Age of Ultron, Black Widow and Hulk share an intimate moment. It's during this encounter Black Widow uses a key phrase to calm the Hulk – “Hey, big guy. Sun's getting real low.” This line would be referenced again in the MCU, but not by Black Widow. Instead, it was Deadpool who reused it.
In Deadpool 2, during a fight with Juggernaut, another Marvel giant, Deadpool uses this same line. Given that Reynolds had a hand in revising the script for Deadpool 2, fans speculate that this was a cheeky nod to his ex-wife's character.
