Joss Whedon has played a huge role in shaping and defining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His contribution brought to life both the Avengers movies and managed to bring together some of the most iconic comic book characters. Yet after Age of Ultron wrapped up, the director took a step back from Marvel’s movie universe – withdrawing from any input. Now he’s revealed that he feels ready to come back on board – with a Black Widow movie top of his wishlist.
Speaking with IGN at San Diego Comic-Con, Whedon confessed that he’d love to helm a Black Widow movie for Marvel in the future;
“If somebody pointed to me and said, ‘you want to make a Black Widow movie?’ the answer would be ‘Duh'”, he said.
“For two reasons: I think that character really is very interesting and very earthbound and so it’s the kind of action that I got to do less of with somebody like Thor or The Vision. When you get into your Superman territory it’s harder to maintain that sort of gritty action that the Russo brothers do so beautifully. And she’s got that kind of thing…and really do a spy thriller, really do a good, paranoid sort of John LeCarré on crack sort of thing”.
“Also, Scarlett Johansson is just delightful. She works really hard, but she just spends most of her time cracking me up, so it would be a fun shoot”,
The idea of a Black Widow movie has been floating around for the longest time now. Marvel hasn’t committed to the idea yet although rumblings have been making the round that Marvel may be including the movie in its Phase 4 slate of movies. If Joss really did come on board it would be huge for fans of Marvel’s movies.
We’ll be sure to pass on any news we get regarding any Black Widow movie.
