Fandom
The fandom is quite small for the film, with only a few works posted to FFN and AO3. The fandom is mainly located on Tumblr.
Due to Johansson's star role as a female lead with superhuman powers, many MCU and Black Widow fans went to see the film to support the actress, and to show Marvel Studios that a Black Widow Movie is possible and would gain as much money as it's other films like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. This led to the film having gained $458.9 million at box office (the movie's budget was only $40 million)[1].
Fans of Natasha Romanoff often use clips of Johansson's Lucy character in her vids and fake trailers - usually to represent Natasha's time as a Russian spy/assassin before joining S.H.I.E.L.D..
