word of advice : spoiler forAvengers : Endgame
avenger : Endgamejust teasedBlack Widow ’s father ahead of her solo movie - but who exactly is Ivan Petrovich ? In Marvel Comics , he is her guardian , but not her birth father . However , that does n’t bet to be the type in the Marvel Cinematic Universe .
When Black Widow and Hawkeye locomotion to Vormir inAvengers : Endgame , Red Skullcalls her " Natasha , daughter of Ivan . " This may have seemed like an unimportant piece of information , but she later concede that she did not know her begetter - or at least that " Ivan " was her true father until this cosmic figure claimed it to be so . So what does it think of for the comingBlack Widowmovie ?

In the comic Good Book , Ivan Petrovich Bezukhov is a Russian soldier who became Natasha ’s guardian when she was an baby after he saves her from a burning construction . He does not have many appearance , and is very much a secondary character at well - but could prove to be very important infuture Marvel movies . Eventually , Ivan convey Natasha to the Black Widow course of study to train in combat , presumptively to help keep her safe . This is where she aim in the Red Room , learning scrap and how to become a spy . She was not the only little miss placed in this deftness - the Red Room actually trained an entire army of them ( an US Army they ’ve been recently revealed to be attempting to ringer ) .
It is here that Natasha was also was kick in the Soviet version of theSuper - Soldier serumwhich not only throw her superhuman strength , but also slowed down her ripening ( something Ivan also received thanks to the Winter Soldier ) . While she think training to be a ballerina , the regime meddle with her memories and it is unclear if that was ever her past times . Once Nat was quick and release by the Red Room into the world , Ivan became her handler / chauffeur . From there , things get a small … uncanny . He protected Black Widow , but while she see him as a fatherlike figure , he fell in love with her . Knowing that she would never rejoin his belief , he vanish for quite a while .
Ivan eventually returned to Natasha ’s lifetime , but as a seriously changed man . He made himself into a cyborg monster and was threatening atomic devastation on Earth . Black Widow realized that he was going insane and that the only path to stop him was to drink down him ( which she did ) . As much as it anguish her to do so , she polish off her previous friend and surrogate father . But turn over the timeline of the MCU , that bionic man transformation seems the least likely chapter of Ivan ’s life to be added to the picture macrocosm .
Will we see Ivan play a major function in this plastic film ? Highly likely . The MCU does n’t just throw away name on accident . This was clearly a set up . But for what ? It is very potential Ivan is being set up to play more than just a small sustain role in the Black Widow movie . Nat has been hardened , as we all screw , so the look on her face inAvengers : Endgamewas hard to read . She seemed to really be excogitate over the name " Ivan " but it was unclear if she knew the man , and just not the fact that he was her father . Perhaps she was think back on the role this man played in her training and early life sentence , having no idea he was in fact , her biologic father .
Of course Gamora was called " daughter of Thanos " even though she was take up , so perhaps we will see Ivan play the same role he playact in the comic al-Qur’an ; an adopted father , who develop a footling too close to the child he raised and protect for years . Because of her destiny , it is all but reassert that we are looking at a Black Widow prequel film , so what better seat to tell the account of her father ?
rifle byAvengers : Endgame ’s Ivan namedrop , it ’s all but guaranteed that her Father-God will have some role to play inBlack Widow ’s solo movie , although given Nat ’s dismayed response to his name , their interactions may be a footling different to in the comics ; either in terms of blood relation , nefarious turn and , perhaps , her unreliable memory . irrespective , consider all the disquieted Ivan caused Black Widow in the comedian , it in all probability wo n’t be a happy tarradiddle .
