According to Variety reporter Justin Kroll, Johansson will get a chance to make her pitch to Jac Schaeffer soon.
Scarlett Johansson has long voiced her interest in starring in a Black Widow movie, and in Marvel Studios defense, so have they.
Finding a slot in the busy release schedule seems to have been the biggest hurdle for this movie, but now progress is officially being made.
In a Twitter post, Kroll wrote that he heard that Johansson and Schaeffer have not had a chance to meet yet, but that they will be getting together at the beginning of next month to go over the film.
