Casting has already begun, and in addition to Scarlett Johansson, the movie will also feature David Harbour as Alexei aka The Red Guardian, Florence Pugh as Yelena, O-T Fagbenle as Mason, and Rachel Weisz as Melina.
For a long time it was hard to tell what information was real and what was spurious in regards to this project, but it’s been confirmed that the project is happening.
In July 2018 it was revealed that Cate Shorthand has signed on to direct the feature, her previous work including the period drama Lore and the horror movie Berlin Syndrome.
It’s also been confirmed that the blockbuster will bring the fan favorite character Taskmaster to the big screen for the first time, but it has not yet been said who is playing the role.
