Age of Ultron

[melannen]

So, I have a WIP I'm working on that's about toddler Natasha and the Winter Soldier having to go into deep cover as uncle and niece.

Currently I'm using a combo of movie canon and the bits of comics/fanon backstory I like and whatever I feel like.

It doesn't matter that much it's unlikely anything in AoU will be worth changing your story for

Watch AoU because there might be interesting stuff to incorporate but assume the story will be going AU from movie canon

quit the wip for a couple years and see what the next cap movie ignores/retcons

Whoever cast james spader is a friggin genius, that is all.

That seems to apply to every role I've seen him in though (which is admittedly a limited number of roles.)

All the stuff about Natasha's past is super vague as to time, unless a hint/easteregg went by so fast I missed it. Did you watch Agent Carter? There was more details about MCU-Red Room in that show than in AoU.

I haven't yet, but I did not attempt to stay spoiler-free, and I think I'm going to not worry about it, as whenever-the-heck this is set, it's at least a decade or so off from Agent Carter, so everything could've changed.
