She will likely be returning alongside those who sent her on the trail for Clint Barton, possibly being embraced as the new Black Widow of the MCU.
There was also Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, who was last seen after the events of Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Already among the most popular Marvel heroes, Bucky’s return is a tad surprising considering he would rarely be considered a villain in the overarching MCU.
David Harbour’s Red Guardian was also shown, seemingly waving to onlookers as he is set to live out his superhero dreams.

Opposite Bucky was Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent who should add a very interesting dynamic considering his history with some of the team.
Rounding out the group was Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster from Black Widow, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost from Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Julia Louise-Dreyfus’ Contessa Valentine who was seen putting the team together throughout phase four.
