A rumored synopsis for Black Widow movie is making rounds over the internet. The synopsis is revealed via a production listing that deals with such intricate pieces of information. Following is the alleged synopsis of Scarlett Johansson's upcoming Black Widow movie:

"At birth, the Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanova) is given to the KGB, which grooms her to become its ultimate operative. When the U.S.S.R. breaks up, the government tries to kill her as the action moves to present-day New York, where she is a freelance operative. The standalone film will find Romanoff living in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union."
