Marvel Giving Popular Female Character a Standalone Film

Marvel Giving Popular Female Character a Standalone Film

Natalie Dyer

Film fans have been awaiting the character's solo outing since her first appearance in 2010.

Popular Marvel character Black Widow is finally being treated to her own film with a writer officially in place. According to Variety, the studio has pulled in Jac Schaeffer to write the currently untitled film.

Marvel fans have long questioned why the character - played by Scarlett Johansson - hasn't been handed her own film despite appearing in five previous films including Iron Man 2, Avengers Assemble and Captain America: Civil War. She'll next be seen in Avengers: Infinity War released in Ireland this May 4.

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.
