"Black Widow" solo MCU movie
 

Scarlet Johansson is getting 15 million for it. Seems like it's really happening.

So like... 10 or more years after her debut in Iron Man 2?

Better late than never?

"Important" movie?

They'll hopefully get that out of their system with "Captain Marvel."

Black Widow sucks.

Is anything more known about it other than it's being made? I was wondering if it would be a back an forth (then and now) type story.

Are we gonna see how she got that scar (#byebyebikini)?

Just this:

"Johansson’s Black Widow is reportedly set before the events of the first Avengers movie and sees the actress reprise the role of the Russian spy turned superheroine."

Which doesn't tell us much of anything. I doubt they would put all of their ducks into a straight up Avengers prequel (which would be 8 years before it by the time this comes out) so my guess is some back and forth, yeah. My guess is we'll certainly see 'Lil Natasha, the Red Room or whatever and all that.

I really do like the Black Widow of the MCU. Winter Soldier really helped me warm up to her. That said, I can't help but wonder if we'll get any other major players from the MCU in this movie. I can't help but want to see some other superheroes involved, but it may not be what this film is going for.

That said, I'd love to see Black Widow be the guest star in a Spider-Man movie, should the Sony + Marvel deal continue on. I think there could be a lot of fun mined from playing with their difference in age, moral codes, and Peter totally having the hot's for her. I just think there's a lot of humor and heart there.

Captain Marvel - great character, movie worthy as long as it isn't politicized (it's like get over it people, we've had women led action movies basically even since the 60's).

Black Widow? Complete unnecessary as a stand alone film.

Apparently it's not a 90s/2000s prequel?

i doubt it.

if the Russo's left, that means they most likely don't want to play ball with the new 'woke' kevin feige.

I would be MUCH more excited for this movie if it was done pre Endgame.

After Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame, they're probably just really tired of sh*tting out MCU movies. I know I'd be. What is there left to be said?

Galactus and X-Men. And Doctor Doom. :trazz:

Two words- the Beyonder. Or Secret War. I'd take either.

A little late.

Can't argue with that.

Marvel: "Hey, now that Natasha is dead, it's the perfect time for a Black Widow movie!"

Thanks, I guess? :tlol:

Apparently Taskmaster will be the villain?

Scarlett Johansson Says She Has the Right to Portray ‘Any Person’ She Wants

I am starting to like her.
I hope more people will support her and say something like that.

Agreed. She's 100% correct.

So, when is the Dalai Lama biopic starring her as the Lama himself coming out?

am I the only one who think this issue contradicts each other?

when I first read her statement, I thought she WAS going 'woke' or 'npc'...not fighting against them. that's typically the type of thing they state.

I personally thought she left the building when she mentioned she should be able to play a tree.

I think that’s just a meme.... never seen her saying she wanted to play a tree.

She has since apologized for any misunderstandings, and has tried to justify her previous stances. Other than that though, ...

Disgusting.

I will no longer be viewing any media with or about her.

I don't want to give her anymore attention.

I am sure Scarlett Johansson is just crushed some Woke SJW won't watch her stuff anymore :lol:

Why shouldn't she be able to play whoever she wants?

She should be. She's an actor. As an actor you're pretending to be someone, something. And if you don't want to watch it you don't have to. Vote with your dollars.

The liberal agenda needs to get away from the arts.

I am sure she will be devastated by your decision.
HINT: no-one gives a hoot.

She is an actor, she can play whoever she wants. That's what actors do. If some crazy people are frothing at the their mouth because an actress plays someone - it is their issue. If they are so wonderful, brave, stunning and talented they surely won't have any problem to make their own successful movies, with whoever they want, right?

Or as a typical left, you want everything to be done for you, instead of doing it yourself?

I don't see how anyone could disagree with Johansson. Movies are big business and big names are required to ensure big profits.

B-b-but how about genuine minorities playing genuine minorities?!
Which obviously happens every time...!!
Shaking!!

Yikes...

"I wasn’t a huge superhero movie fan before starting to work [at Marvel], but now that I’m doing it, there’s just so much opportunity to make big, positive statements"

"I would like to see alternatives to violence in superhero movies. Maybe I would qualify that by saying, alternatives to glamorizing guns and weaponry. That’s one of the reasons that I love Captain Marvel — it’s all about inner power. And the destruction is not at the expense of human life."

She does realize she's doing a movie about an assassin, right?

even the article that bleedingfool sources from is cringe worthy too

'Black Widow' Writer Jac Schaeffer Isn't Scared to Make the Fanboys Mad
"I’m not interested in the loud, sour-grapes voices."

Another Hollywood artist that thinks they can change the world with their work! Hilarious!

The wokeness finally reached marvel movies.

I'm done with that franchise. it was the last batch of movies I could REALLY enjoy, that felt like movies felt BEFORE all this SJW crap began. And I'm a DC fan who knew nothing about Marvel.

now nothing is really left untouched.

You hate women, we get it.

Oh brother. :roll:

I'm going to point out here that while I don't think any humans died in Captain Marvel, Carol and her allies are indeed killing Kree, who would be indistinguishable from human beings if a few of them weren't blue. It's also worth noting that she knew them and thought she was one of them for six years, yet she's yelling in excitement as she's killing them. So while her statement about "the destruction is not at the expense of human life" is technically correct, it might as well not be.

Ohhhhh let's not start that crap. It might shock you guys to know, but it is possible to make a woman led movie that isn't 'rubbing it in the face of males', 'showing the boys how its done' and 'will piss off the fanboys'.

I think one of the reasons Battle Angel Alita got some backlash here and there was the fact that they focused on actually making the best movie they could and adapting the original material without forcing a girl power message or some other political agenda in there.
