Marvel moving forward with a solo Black Widow movie

*NinjaPug* · 01-10-2018, 05:34 PM

Still early stages but Marvel wouldn't leak this news if they weren't going to make it.

They better do it soon, Scarlett Johanson isn't getting any younger. Pretty soon she'll be too old for the role.

If James Cameron can make more Avatar films with Sigourney Weaver and a new Terminator with Linda Hamilton, anything is possible.

The difference is she has a lot of action scenes and has to remain in tight fit safe. Sigourney Weaver spent most of Avatar sitting on a chair near a computer desk.

Ah, I see what you're really thinking about there, bucko.

Even so, she's still a recognizable actress of a certain age who has done some high profile action roles. Schwazenegger still does this stuff, and he's pushing 70.

I'd rather hear Weaver's voice emote and, you know--act--than watch that blank faced piece of cardboard who plays Rey in the new Star Wars movies.

We really don't need a Black Widow movie. But if the story is right, it could be good.

Booooo. Black Widow sucks. Scarlett Johannson sucks.

Well. At least they're actually getting around to it, I guess. Years too late and with all the hype that could have accompanied it gone.

I don't know about "sucks", but it still baffles me that Widow was made a big screen Avenger over... pretty much any other female Avenger ever.

I'll become a true MCU fanboy when I hear about a She-Hulk movie or TV series.

Maybe Disney will buy Universal and they'll get the full rights then

Emma Watson is reportedly being eyed for a lead role in the film. Having her join the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be great.

I'm all in for that!

I’m actually very interested in this movie, provided it’s given the proper care it needs. We need more spy/espionage based films in general, so if Marvel can do a big budget Black Widow movie I’d be all over it.

I do hope it’s more Metal Gear Solid or Mission Impossible inspired over “gritty female spy uses SEX to GET what she WANTS”. Give me Shadow Moses but with Black Widow.

Dude, Marvel ain't touching "gritty female spy uses SEX to GET what she WANTS" with a I-swear-it's-six-inches pole. Ain't fvcking happening.

*snake* · 03-06-2019, 09:35 PM

You’re right. They’d do a PG-13 version and it’ll feel completely off due to self-imposed restrictions. I feel like there’s a pressure on them- with this movie- to do a “grounded” spy movie when they should be doing the opposite.

Rachel Weisz is in talks for a part in the film. David Harbour from Stranger Things has also apparently joined the movie.
