Popular Marvel character Black Widow is finally being treated to her own film with a writer officially in place.
It won’t be the first time a female superhero has led a Marvel film – that will go to both Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel as well as Lost star Evangeline Lilly’s The Wasp who shares the title role of Ant-Man and the Wasp with Paul Rudd.
Should Black Widow – real name Natasha Romanoff – make it to production, it’s likely it’ll arrive beyond its next phase which looks to be kickstarted by Black Panther next February.
According to Variety, the studio has pulled in Jac Schaeffer to write the currently untitled film making good on its promise to bring fans the standalone film they’ve been wanting.
