Marvel is finally pushing ahead with the highly anticipated “Black Widow” standalone movie starring Scarlett Johansson, with Jac Schaeffer penning the script.
Sources say this is still very early development, as the film has no greenlight, but naming a writer is the closest the studio has come to moving forward on a standalone pic. Marvel President Kevin Feige met with several candidates before tapping Schaeffer, and Marvel execs met with Johansson to discuss what they wanted from a “Black Widow” writer.
Schaeffer is an up and coming scribe who broke out with her Black List script “The Shower,” a comedy about an alien invasion during a baby shower which caught the eye of Anne Hathaway, who quickly attached herself to star in the pic.
Hathaway was so impressed with her work that she soon tapped Schaeffer to write “Nasty Women,” a new female-centric take on “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” that also stars Hathaway.
Marvel had no comment.
Fans of the character have been pushing for her to get own movie since she first appeared in “Iron Man 2” and with the latest phase of Marvel films coming to a close, Marvel saw this as the best time to move forward with the project.
Johansson has appeared as the character in six films, the next one being this summer’s “Avengers: Infinity War.”
Schaeffer is repped by Verve and Writ Large.
Ha ha, "highly anticipated" and "Scarlett Johansson" don't go in the same sentence!
I know it's J. Lawrence, but I'm pretty sure that somewhere somehow there are photos of Scarlett's butt hole on the internet too.
She be skanky. Her nice rack no longer redeems her.
In the Marvel film universe, movies typically reference events from other movies, or build upon events from earlier movies. My guess is they are not seeking to tie the Black Widow movie into the evolving story line.
More people are likely to see Black Widow than Black Panther.
I’ll go ahead and admit that I have seen Scarlett nekit on the internet.
For some reason, her physique reminded me of Homer Simpson. Not sure why, but that’s the association that occurred.
She’s not particularly attractive.
