I don't get this part:
The source claims that Florence Pugh's character in the film will be Yelena Belova, the woman who takes the mantle of Black Widow in the comics. This iteration of the character on the big screen will do the same, essentially replacing Natasha Romanoff going forward.
Huh? Does that mean Scarlett Johansson is not going to be in the movie ("replacing Natasha Romanoff")? This statement confuses me.

Hmm, I figured they'd try and build around the X-Men. Granted they might not want to since the Fox X-Men stuff is still going on, but I feel like that would offer a change of pace. I don't think X-Men or Marvel fans would mind that much as the X-Men movies have been considered kinda duds I thought. They'd do some things right but ultimately were lacking (no clue why Mystique kept playing such a significant role; ok well "woman in just blue paint" obviously and the big names that played it, but still).

There's plenty to overlap with the established MCU stuff as well (a Hulk vs Wolverine, especially if it included Deadpool, should do well). Captain Marvel provides an avenue to do a proper origin story for Rogue. I think Gambit could do well. And stuff like the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix saga, would give them opportunity to mix in the cosmic stuff (but that's not likely seeing how they're just about to release the Fox take on that).

Thats how I read it.

Well I'm pretty sure Scarlett Johansson is going to be the main actress of the solo Black Widow movie, I wouldn't doubt if they use the pre-Avengers Black Widow story to introduce the character that will become the new bearer of the Black Widow name and perhaps use that to launch things from there.

Not addressing the accuracy of the leak but yes, that is what they meant.

The Black Widow movie is a prequel. Scarlett Johansson will be playing BW and they will introduce the new character. Then, in some future present time MCU movie, this new character will essentially replace Black Widow.
