Marvel moving forward with a solo Black Widow movie

[NinjaPug]

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

[CyberCubed]

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

[Spike Spiegel]

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

[CyberCubed]

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.

[Cure]

Booooo. Black Widow sucks. Scarlett Johannson sucks.

[Andrew NDB]

If James Cameron can make more Avatar films with Sigourney Weaver

You mean with her voice?

[Spike Spiegel]

she...has to remain...tight fit

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

You mean with her voice?

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.

[dl316bh]

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.

Booooo. Black Widow sucks. Scarlett Johannson sucks.
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.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

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

[Spike Spiegel]

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 :roll:

[dl316bh]

We really don't need a Black Widow movie. But if the story is right, it could be good.
Depends on what they do. If they decide to do a spy thriller, it could be pretty great.

I'll become a true MCU fanboy when I hear about a She-Hulk movie or TV series.
TV series would be most likely if the rights ever got worked out. They could do a fun comedy style thing with her law career and the minor fourth wall breaking. If they just tried to play her as "female Hulk" I think it would work... well, about as well as every time they tried that in the comics.

[ProactiveMan]

They would have to make it better than Atomic Blonde, and I don't know how they are going to do that.

[plastroncafe]

If they made it about Bucky and Widow and the Red Room, it'd be pretty awesome.

[raph27]

I'm excited for this. However, I'm hoping it's set in the present and not an origins movie like most people seem to want. Some flashbacks would be okay, but I feel like BW is a character who's mystery is one of the defining parts about her, and having everything explained out exactly takes away from that. Same applies for the Boba Fett movie. That's also the reason I am really not looking forward to Solo, and hoping that the Joker origin movie is cancelled.

This also all depends on where her story goes in IW. I was hoping this would happen between Civil War and IW. Imagine a movie about her being on the run from the law (since she helped Cap and Bucky escape in CW) but then a new threat makes her emerge from hiding and get her back with the Avengers, setting up her in IW. Guess it's too late now.

[Andrew NDB]

If they made it about Bucky and Widow and the Red Room, it'd be pretty awesome.

Yeah, I'd dig that. Hawkeye should be there too, in some capacity.

[dl316bh]

They would have to make it better than Atomic Blonde, and I don't know how they are going to do that.
Oh s***, yeah. I didn't think of that. Atomic Blonde already did the kind of movie you'd want from Black Widow and would be the one it's compared to.

[Andrew NDB]

Oh s***, yeah. I didn't think of that. Atomic Blonde already did the kind of movie you'd want from Black Widow and would be the one it's compared to.

Except nobody really saw Atomic Blonde. And it was a period piece. I think Black Widow will be fine.

And it's fairly easy to imagine how to make a movie better than Atomic Blonde.

[CyberCubed]

Atomic Blonde was pretty dull except for one or two action scenes and then that lesbian sex scene that came out of nowhere. I wasn't even expecting it because I didn't hear about it online and then I was like..."WTF is happening?" It felt like I was watching some kind of porno.

[ProactiveMan]

Except nobody really saw Atomic Blonde. And it was a period piece. I think Black Widow will be fine.

And it's fairly easy to imagine how to make a movie better than Atomic Blonde.

Maybe, maybe not. I know more people who saw Atomic Blonde than people who can remember Black Widow's name. Usually it's "Scarlett Johansson" followed by confusion as to "why do the Avengers even need her or that archery guy?"

[ZariusTwo]

It's a pity the Netflix Marvel shows can't crossover, because Widow used to be pretty tight with Daredevil throughout the 70s through to at least the 2000s.

[Shark_Blade]

I doubt it could top Wonder Woman, but I'm somewhat interested.

[Coola Yagami]

I doubt it could top Wonder Woman, but I'm somewhat interested.

I doubt it, but it doesn't have to compete with Wonder Woman. It's more about finally giving her her own movie, not competing what that failed DCCU.

However I see how tons of DC fanboys are gonna turn this into a Black Widow vs Wonder Woman competition, and should it fail at the box office, you'll see DC neerds dancing in the streets.

I expect it to be as fun as Winter Soldier. I know Cap has superpowers but they aren't as noticeable and flashy as Thor, Hulk or Tony in his suits, but his movies were awesome. I'd expect Widow to have a hell of a thrill ride.

I never cared for the idea of Black Widow having her own solo movie, to me she is better as a supporting character, in fact at least with a Hawkeye movie we get to see some awesome "Bullseye" like accuracy but with Widow she doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Who wants a Black Widow movie with Scarlett Johanson in 2020? This movie should've come out 5 years ago when the MCU was a lot smaller. I can think of at least ten different female Marvel characters that deserve a movie before her if they really want to chase the Wonder Woman money.

I want a Black Widow movie. We gotta see how she went from being a Russian Spy to becoming a member of Shield.

Also she and Hawkeye had some history together. So I hope Hawkeye is in the movie too.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, they sort of teased that in Avengers 1, at which time it's like, "Oh, I get it... they must be foreshadowing some big Black Widow/Hawkeye thing for Phase 2."

And then nothing happened.

[Candy Kappa]

At this point, eh... I'll see it most likely, unless I'm working a lot and don't find the time. But it's not a priority.

[TigerClaw]

Also Nick Fury will probably be involved. He most likely discovered her. and recruited her to be a part of Shield.

That would've been a cool movie but Scarlett Johnson will has aged 10 years since she did Iron Man 2, how can they make a prequel? Recast?

I think there are other Marvel women that would be better than trying this, they took too long.

They can probably use the de-aging technology to make the actors look younger. The fact Nick Fury is going to appear in the Captain Marvel movie. its no doubt they are gonna do the de-aging to make him look younger in the 90s.

[Coola Yagami]

I'd watch it. Literally every MCU movie is top priority, I don't care if they made another Howard the Duck movie. Hell, I'm watching Ant Man and the Wasp tomorrow.

Each solo movie has it's own different feel based on their abilities and backstories. You wouldn't see Thor in WWII and you don't expect magical worlds from Captain America. Hell, I didn't expect the first Ant Man to be more of a heist movie. Black Widow would be an awesome spy movie, and hell, imagine a younger Nick Fury still being a field player.

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. :tlol:

[snake]

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.

[Andrew NDB]

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.

Yeah, they literally said the movie would be PG-13 a couple of weeks ago (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/black-widow-movie-will-not-be-rated-r-confirms-kevin-feige-1189233).

Not surprising at all, but still disappointing. On the verge of Marvel getting Deadpool and all -- which they insist will continue onward as R under some to be determined banner -- you'd think there would be more openness to explore more adult material with the characters that lend themselves to that sort of thing. Like, I dunno, a f***ing assassin.

Plus, think about it. Iron Man 2 (where she debuted) came out 9 years ago. That means that even if you were 8 years old when you saw that, you'd be 17 now... old enough to see an R-rated Black Widow movie. And it's not like she's been gaining fans with her little cameos of late. I mean, I doubt it.

[Leo656]

On the verge of Marvel getting Deadpool and all -- which they insist will continue onward as R under some to be determined banner -- you'd think there would be more openness to explore more adult material with the characters that lend themselves to that sort of thing.

They're 100% lying. They just don't want an open revolt, so they're making promises they have no intention of ever keeping.

Marvel/Disney will never, EVER gamble their proven, multi-billion dollar formula on one or two "edgy" movies that will still have to fit in with the rest of their PG/PG-13 "universe".

I fully understand that they have the capacity to do it if they want to. But they're not going to. The risk/reward ratio doesn't favor it. People keep citing "Deadpool" as if they actually NEED that franchise, as it is/was. They literally fart out a new billion-dollar movie every three to four months. I'm sure that they find the existence of a super-hero movie full of dick jokes and ultra-violence "interesting", but they have very little incentive to actually pursue that angle themselves. So it made money. So what? They made two billion dollars with a talking raccoon; they'd actually be pretty stupid to gamble on a niche market just because "it fits the characters better". Since when does that matter to them as much as selling more dolls?

They don't need to make R-rated CBMs to make billions. Thus, they're not going to bother. "CBMs are live-action cartoons for children and families." They've said this out loud, many times. C'mon. "LIVE IN THE NOW," people.

[Andrew NDB]

I take them at their word (why even lie at this juncture, or any other, really?)... however, you point out a thing that does concern me. Perhaps they won't have it fit in with their universe. Perhaps while Deadpool gets to continue onward with R-movies... cameos from Avengers and such will be ruled "out of bounds." Which would suck. That's like the main reason I was looking forward to Deadpool at Marvel. Like, Spider-Man tags along for a movie. Or he runs into Iron Man.

Though it reasons to say, if Iger and company are going to all the trouble of making a R-rated brand to suit Deadpool (https://variety.com/2019/film/news/disney-deadpool-marvel-r-rated-1203129498/)... it will be a brand that is going to have stuff other than just Deadpool, too.

[snake]

I understand it from a buisness perspective. I get it. Deadpool “fills” that niche, and maybe the one-off Logan-esque films we’ll eventually get will too. What I’m saying is, if you’re not going to commit to an R-rated film, don’t make a pussified version of an R-rated film, and that’s exactly what these people try to do. Look at the f*cking Robocop reboot.

You can do a PG-13 Black Widow movie. There’s a market for it. I’d prefer a solid, comic-book esque action movie over another realistic female spy movie only this time she can’t show her tits. Make me feel like this is a movie taking place in the Marvel universe. Give me nanomachines, cyborgs, conspiracy theories, the f*cking serpent society for all I care. Make it “campy” but don’t play it for laughs. It’s why I have a problem with that godawful Agents of Shield show. You never feel like you’re watching something taking place in the Marvel universe. You’re watching some dudes sh*t around in suits acting out a barely consequential script with no imagination or soul behind it.

Metal Gear Solid is a perfect place to look tonally and conceptually, for what this movie should be.

Tell me about it. Or the PG-13 Total Recall movie. Together with RoboCop, some of the bloodiest movies of the era they were borne out of. Between those two remakes, what a terrible time to be a Verhoeven fan.

[Leo656]

I take them at their word (why even lie at this juncture, or any other, really?)

1. From one carny to... well, to a friend... "Never take anyone at their word" is a Day One, pally.

2. As I've said, controlling the larger conversation about these movies is big business. Look how far they've gone to control the conversations about Star Wars and Captain Marvel. They know full well that even though they don't need Deadpool, people liked it and wouldn't mind having some more, as long as it's the same as what they already got and liked. If they came out and openly said, "Yeah, it doesn't fit our brand, we're not doing R-rated CBMs, because we make way more money off of kids and soccer moms than we do edgelord purist geeks," people on the internet would flip their sh*t. It COULD even finally be what pushes the bloom off of the rose that is the MCU completely. People would rage about how the company "doesn't listen to its fans" and all that. It would be a PR disaster. They have every nerd and their mother eating out of the palm of their hand right now and convinced that everything they do is great; openly declaring, "We don't plan to give you that thing you said you wanted" would be suicide. I loathe Disney as an entity but they didn't get to where they are by NOT being business-savvy.

What they're gonna do instead is some simple sleight-of-hand: Make Captain Marvel, the X-Men, the Fantastic 4, and a bunch of other "new" MCU characters a huge focal point going forward, announce a hundred new movies with all these exciting "new" characters, and then wait for everyone to forget they even promised more Deadpool or other R-rated CBMs. By then nobody will even care anymore, AND, if they wait long enough, they can easily put Deadpool in any other MCU film as an ancillary character, fully adhering to the PG-13 guidelines, and people will just be happy they got anything at all.

1. Lie
2. Misdirect
3. Hope everyone forgets what you promised if you wait long enough

It's a simple but effective strategy, and it's definitely what the plan is.
-----------------------

snake: Don't even get me started to how terrified I am of the Metal Gear Solid movie. That has a 0/100 chance of NOT being a complete disaster. Plus they already made two of them: They were called "Escape From New York" and "Escape From L.A.", and they were perfectly fine. :trazz: Better than whatever nonsense Hollywood is gonna cobble together based on a Wiki page and a complete misunderstanding of the material.

Between the MGS movie and the He-Man movie that are both "allegedly" coming out inside a couple years, it feels like Hollywood is actually trying to use my favorite things as an elaborate game of tricking me into suicide. They might win! Too early to tell! But based on their track record, I don't like my odds... :ohwell:

[Andrew NDB]

They know full well that even though they don't need Deadpool, people liked it and wouldn't mind having some more, as long as it's the same as what they already got and liked.

Deadpool is cheap to make and the first two made more money than ANY of the X-Men movies (except DofP, I think, but even there it was close and that movie cost a sh** ton more)... it's a huge commodity, like an almost free billion dollars for them every movie.

Don't even get me started to how terrified I am of the Metal Gear Solid movie.

You should be. There hasn't been even one good video game movie, ever.

[Leo656]

I think the low risk/high reward game mattered a lot more to Fox than it does to Disney. Disney has proven that they're perfectly fine playing the "High Cost (I won't call it "risk"; every Disney movie is NO-risk by definition) for Even Higher Reward" game.

They spend more, but they also earn more. People are seriously overestimating the value the Deadpool "brand" is worth to them. They could just as easily make Howard The Duck tomorrow for like, $50 million, and it would make at least $800 million because of the "Marvel" sticker on it. I keep going back to this, but the fact is, they made ANT-MAN a big deal. They've been spinning sh*t into Gold for a long time now; they don't need to make Deadpool, or ANY R-rated CBMs whatsoever, in order to make profit. And lest we forget, "Profit" is the name of the game, NOT "keeping promises", NOT "giving the audience more of what they asked for". Profit, keeping investors happy, and keeping the Soccer Moms from writing angry letters about how "comic book movies are for KIDS!". That's All There Is.

I understand that it's human nature to cling to hope in the face of all logic. But that doesn't make it any less naive. That would be like me expecting any DC movie to ever come out in the future to aim higher than the lowbrow "comedy" that "SHAZAM!" is aiming for. I'm realistic about what the future holds. I don't like it, but I know how the game is played.

The next R-rated CBM to come out will probably be McFarlane's "Spawn" movie. And we all know that movie's not coming out in this lifetime. It is what it is. I just get frustrated because so many people are going to be so disappointed when they realize they were lied to, and I would spare them that feeling, if I could.
------------

I know. Although Mortal Kombat is at least watchable, if completely neutered. Still, the fact it's been 25 years and THAT is still the bar... Jesus, I wish people would stop making video game movies. Like, I would pay them to stop, if I had Richard Branson levels of "f*ck off" money. "Oh, so you're making a Legend Of Zelda movie with a budget of $100 million? I'll give you $300 million to NOT do that."

I would be the single greatest humanitarian the world has ever seen. Alas......

Let me guess, they're doing this because Fox has better name recognition than Touchstone? I don't doubt that's the case but I don't think anyone would care if Alien 7 ends up having a different studio logo attached either.

Deadpool is such an off-center gag character anyway, I don't think he'll interact with the MCU characters in any meaningful way, he didn't even to interact with the core X-Men in a meaningful way either (unless you count Colossus but he wasn't important in the other movies). Anyway, I would not be chocked if they made direct sequels to the Deadpool movies and implied he ended up in the MCU through some nonsense and then pretended he always belonged there after a fourth wall gag (like with Miles Morales in the comics).

No, they've said they plan to integrate and "reunite" them right away (https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/kevin-feige-teases-plans-x-men-mcu/). A few different times (https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/01/22/disney-marvel-studios-x-men-fantastic-four/#1).

But Deadpool? Maybe a different story. Maybe he stays under the now-Disney-owned Fox banner... which no longer contains any X-Men.

Did Deadpool have any links to FoX-Men? Couldn't the few references just be that references and not like it was actually in continuity?

I'm sure down the line had Fox continued with X-Men they would've had a crossover movie but since they didn't it could easily fit into MCU since deadpool is "wAcKy and stuff.

He saw all of the X-Men and Xavier in the mansion in Deadpool 2... though Deadpool 2 was set in 2018 and those movies' present was like the 1980s. So kind of?

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

People have been filling theaters since Godzilla vs. Kong, when most people didn't have the vaccine. Which makes sense... since the COVID cases stemming from theaters is 0.

I won't lie, I forgot this movie was a thing. I'm sure it will be good but this feels like a "too little, too late" kinda thing for me to be interested in.
