    She already is the new Black Widow. It's not a superhero name -- it's the name of every assassin who came out of the Red Room, from Dottie in Agent Carter to Natasha to Yelena and all the others we saw in the movie.

    And she's not a Romanoff (or more properly Romanova), she's a Belova. They aren't biological sisters -- it was a childhood cover identity that they chose to embrace later in life.

    Is there an echo in here?

    Fair enough. I'm not as well-versed in some of the character backgrounds as some. Thanks!

    He probably has you blocked like me. At least, that's what his wife said to me in the shower this morning.

    I wouldn't mind Yelena changing her surname to Romanoff in tribute to her sister.

    Given that Yelena has not attempted to Americanize her accent as Natasha did, I don't think she'd Americanize her surname either, so it would be Romanova if she did adopt it.

    But Yelena Belova is the name she's always gone by in the comics, so I assume they'll stick with that in the MCU.

    Are those even their real names?

    Those are the names that each chose to live their lives with. They're real enough.

    As far as we know. Though Natasha's full name is actually Natalia Alianovna Romanova (Natasha is a diminutive of Natalia). Yelena's patronymic has not been revealed either in comics or in the MCU.

    Well it was the name both Zola and the Red Skull used, and the latter even knew her father's name, which is more information that Natasha had, so it seems to be a safe assumption.

    Yes, there is. Her dad was killed by Ronin, but that was set up by her boyfriend. ANd she should be getting her own show too. [/joke]

    I noticed there was a shot of the Metlife building, but isn't that where Avengers Tower was supposed to be? Or whatever it was turned into after Tony sold it.

    The same thing happened in the Netflix Marvel shows.

    Hey, everybody, they forgot to VFX New York just like the Netflix and ABC shows, Hawkeye isn’t really part of the MCU, either!

    Someone needs to write the clickbait “Hawkeye Noncanon?! Shocking Clue Discovered!” article.

    Wow, that is a hell of a subtle callback. I wonder if mac & cheese will become a recurring thing with her?

    They were more Inhuman specific, really...

    They brought up the Avengers as though they were part of the problem, didn't they?

    They get a mention, but all we ever see of them is them hunting down Inhumans.
