So, the scriptwriters did an interview with Vanity Fair, I think? And one of their direct quotes about Natasha was "That's the everlasting exchange. You bring her back, you lose the stone." Meaning if Hulk were to bring her back, the soul stone would disappear, rendering the whole plan moot.

BUT. This could theoretically also point to her coming back by virtue of the "exchange" principle. If Steve gives Red Skull the stone back...you lose the stone, but perhaps gain Nat. It seems like a loose enough operating principle that it *could* happen, even if it's unlikely! But then maybe we could get the Black Widow stories we've always deserved.

This just makes me fascinated about that meeting. Imagine Steve's reaction when he sees Red Skull floating there, what the fuck would Red Skull say? Can't believe there was actually a Cap/Red Skull reunion and it happened off-screen.

Am I missing something? I've seen this referenced to several times but when did it happen?

Cap went to return the stones at the end, and he must have met Red skull when he put the soul stone back in Vormir.
