Marvel might be finally doing a Black Widow solo movie

At last! Marvel's 'Black Widow' standalone movie might actually happen. https://t.co/3sueLxGWvv
— Collider (@Collider) January 10, 2018

Marvel has met with a number of screenwriters about penning a new solo movie for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. The movie has been long-discussed, but Marvel seems to finally be moving forward by hiring TiMER writer/director Jac Schaffer to write the script. Scarlett was also consulted on what direction she wants the character to go.

fuck marvel, stan lee is a dirty old perv!

you're a dirty old perv.

I cried a little when I saw the news. Been waiting 8 years for this.

Thank you Wonder Woman!

I'll believe it when I see it.

Can they make a movie about a female superhero that hasnt been in 15 other films already?

she's a main character, Infinity War will be her 6th movie. but so far we've gotten about 5 minutes of backstory and half of that was Mark Ruffalo saying he was glad they're having this conversion because it's time

if they can take the time to find Tom Hiddleston's hairline, they can find the red on her ledger

LOL ok

There are just a lot more compelling female characters that HAVEN'T been in multiplex6 Marvel vehicles already. Espex considering they'll own the X-Men starting next year.

But if you want ANOTHER movie with Black Widow that's cool. Tom Hiddleston is a weird example though bc he didn't get a solo film either.

Pass, I’m so meh on Scarlett’s Natasha. At this point, there’s so many other female characters from the Marvel universe I would much rather see (Give me my She-Hulk movie).

I really want a Netflix procedural with She Hulk lolol

I could get behind that, give me a courtroom drama

oh please yes. didn't they have her argue against Matt Murdock in a courtroom in the comics recently? backdoor pilot potential right there.

This

Yaaas, She-Hulk! One of the best characters from the comics with so many great, great stories!

While some of the humor and lightheartedness of She-Hulk's arcs would work better in an ongoing TV series, I kinda want to see her wacky adventures done with big budget special effects.

My dream would be a series of She-Hulk comedy/action/romance/coutroom/spacefaring movies that, while set in the MCU, are less about saving the world and more about the fun and day-to-day hijinks Jennifer runs into.

too late we've moved on

I blame all yall on here wanting a Black Widow movie lol

there are other female characters who have a better story than she does, and anyway Red Sparrow is coming out so they're screwed.

except Red Sparrow is nothing like Black Widow

but it is

They're both ballerina Russian spies

It's not so much that they're nothing alike, but that they're both a generic character trope that's been done a million times. You could point to an almost endless number of other characters and say, "That's just like Black Widow." Approximately 75% of all female YA fantasy protagonists are white girl orphan assassins trained from childhood, and that's without getting into how many Russian female spies there are in fiction.

(And I'd argue that Red Sparrow, which seems to be focusing heavily on the honeypot/sexualization angle, is as different from any movie Disney would make about BW as it could be.)

I had the exact thought when I saw the Red Sparrow trailer tbh

not with those accents

sounded like a potato dracula PASS

Ikr. At this point? Keep it.

I want this. I have wanted a Black Widow movie damn near since I was a kid. Before the MCU was a thing. I love that character. I don't want this fucked up. I'm worried since Jac's filmography is so thin, and so not what i'd want or expect in someone writing a kick ass spy action film. I want this movie to be written and directed by a women.

But the writer of Timer and the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake?

This movie can't make mistakes. Right now, women driven films aren't allowed to fail or be mediocre even though 9 billion dude films are.

Yeah. When my friend sent me this link I said something along the lines of "I'll believe it when I see it in the cinemas", which led him to asking me if I'd rather have no movie at all, or a shitty movie (to which I replied 'no movie at all', citing the ridiculous double standards that you brought up as well).

We have twenty million Transformers movie and we can't even get a proper Black Widow movie...

..... there's a dirty rotten scoundrels remake??

yeah with AnnE Hathaway and Rebel Wilson.

So that's gonna flop.

the writer is the same one who wrote that god awful Olaf short before Coco so catch me throwing chanclas at the screen if this cryptid of a movie ever actually happens.

that thing was so painful

She's written other stuff that are pretty acclaimed, though, like "Shower", a screenplay that wound up on the Black List about an alien invasion during a baby shower that sounds kinda amazing!

Please have someone record that and send it to me

As much as I would like this, they will find someway to fuck it up. The SNL skit will probably be better than what they come up with.

I'll watch with a different actress.

Like five years too late lol. Just pick another female character to make a movie about honestly or recast the role. I’m glad they hired a woman screenwriter tho

I might've been into this a few years ago...it's time to highlight more characters.

The power of WW. Marvel was so idiotic for not doing a solo movie for her when she was much more popular than now. But I'll take it, make it 3.

As long as she doesn't have to have a fucking romantic interest in the movie I'm down.

They'll probably shoehorn Bruce Banner

I will take it if they shoehorn in a romantic sideplot with Maria Hill.

only if Maria is played by Michelle Rodriguez, as she always should have been.

But I need to see her and Bucky have a thing in the Red Room
