Scarlett Johansson Talks Black Widow Solo Movie Possiblities
There is no Black Widow film sitting on Marvel's slate, which takes us through to 2019, but many fans and people involved in the franchise are open to the possibility of the MCU mainstay getting her own time in the spotlight.
Scarlett Johansson herself is interested, but only if it is for the right reasons and at the right time. "I would like for it to happen under the right circumstances. I think there’s a lot of opportunity to mine that story line. She’s got a really rich origins story.
"There’s a lot of places you can go — you can bring it back to Russia. You could explore the Widow program. There’s all kinds of stuff that you could do with it. You could really uncover the identity of who this person is, where she comes from and where she’s part of."
She continues. "
There’s plenty of back story. Or not. It could be something else. Where do the Avengers go? They are underground. What happens then? What happens after it all falls apart? There are so many ways you can go. I think it would just have to be very much like its own specific thing. It would have to have its own specific vibe. It would have been totally different than any of the other standalone films."
Clearly, there's plenty of potential and a lot to explore of the character. The actress said that "I think if the fans wanted it enough, then it would probably become a reality.
"I talked to them [Marvel] about it often. It would have to fit in the idea of where they want to go. I’m invested in that character. Marvel is greatly invested in that character. If I did it, I’d have to do it while I still actually wanted to wear a skin-tight catsuit. I don’t know how much longer that’s going to be."
