Captain America and Black Widow to play a prominent role in unnamed 4th Avengers movie

Fans will get to see more of Captain America and Black Widow in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ sequel, said scriptwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

According to a report, the duo revealed that the two characters - played by

Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson - will ‘’have a much bigger role to play in that second film’’, after mainly being seen defending earth in the first one.

‘’We gave ourselves license to pay off later,” McFeely added.

The comments on the future of the series come after it was suggested that Marvel Studios could launch a new Avengers franchise.

‘Avengers 4’, which is scheduled to be released next year, is touted to be the final chapter for the ensemble cast of superhero favourites, but Disney CEO Bob Iger has teased that it might not be the end of an era.
