If they based this movie around the Black Widow from "The Ultimates" and put her in that sort of universe, I don't see how they could go wrong. Granted, 616 BW has a lot of history and is a great character in and of herself, but if they were to use the Ultimates version, I think they'd stand a better chance of portraying whatever story it was they were trying to seel to the audience.
If you try to use the one from the regular universe, that urge to use sometype of defining moment from her past is always going to be there and that could either come off well, or go horribly wrong. If you sell her as a newer character, then you no longer have that deep well of history tempting you, and can focus more on who she is and where she's going, as opposed to where's she's been and who that's made her.
In my opinion anyway.
