So you can’t really roll around in the grief because we’ve got another hour of movie and we haven’t solved the A-plot problem. The only regret is that it comes at the end of Act Two. McFeely added, “I’m really proud of that moment. “And then it choked me up because I think we would have a much different conversation if Hawkeye had pushed her aside.” “A number of women on the crew, when we said, ‘Hey, we’re thinking maybe Hawkeye goes over,’ said, ‘Don’t you do that! Don’t rob her of this!'” McFeely said. McFeely also said that female crew members on the “Avengers: Endgame” set pushed them to stick with killing off Black Widow over Hawkeye.

“We certainly thought long and hard about it,” McFeely said. A new Vanity Fair interview with “Endgame” screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely confirms “there was an alternate sequence shot in which Hawkeye is the sacrifice instead.” How did the writers decide which superhero to kill? McFeely points to two reasons and admits the Black Widow choice was made “not without some controversy.” Black Widow and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) have an altercation to decide who will be sacrificed. Black Widow sacrifices herself on Vormir so that the Avengers can obtain the Soul Stone and help defeat Thanos. The death of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was one of the big shocks in “ Avengers: Endgame,” and it also turned out to be one of the film’s most controversial storytelling choices.
