A Scarlett Johansson look-alike who goes by the name kate_johansson on TikTok is celebrating Black Widow‘s release. The start of the MCU’s Phase 4 was delayed for over a year due to the coronavirus pandemic. All the while, multiple shows on Disney+, such as WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, debuted and concluded in the interim. This past weekend, Black Widow’s release marked Marvel Studios’ return to theaters, smashing records for the best opening weekend of the pandemic era.

After portraying Natasha Romanoff since Iron Man 2 in 2010, Black Widow finally gives Johansson her well-deserved spotlight. While the film acts as her first solo MCU adventure, it will also be her last considering the character’s fate at the end of Avengers: Endgame. Every indication is that Johansson will be hanging up her Black Widow jumpsuit for good, joining her fellow original Avengers Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans in retirement. While Marvel has expressed no interest in recasting the character for any purpose whatsoever, the perfect candidate has emerged on TikTok.

With Black Widow acting as the final chapter in Natasha’s MCU saga, there likely won’t be any new looks for user kate_johansson and others to cosplay in the future.
