Her story progressed in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where she was deemed dead at the end of the film, but it has always been an accepted fact that it's only a matter of time before she re-emerges.

Black Widow was part of the Time Heist team in Avengers: Endgame, but in order for her and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) to get the Soul Stone from Red Skull in Vormir, she sacrificed herself.
