Scarlett Johansson Says She'll Ask Marvel for Black Widow Spin-off Movie
The pregnant actress will reportedly ask Marvel for a Black Widow spin-off film, says The Guardian.
According to the outlet, Johansson talked about the spin-off film during the premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where she plays Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow.
On the red carpet, Johansson remarked, "If you want to see a Black Widow spin-off movie, then I want to see it. We'll see. We will put the request into Marvel tomorrow."
Rumors of a Black Widow spin-off movie have been addressed by no less than Marvel Studios president of production, Kevin Feige. In an interview with BadAss Digest, the Marvel executive said that he doesn't know when a female superhero like Black Widow will standalone in a film.
"I think [Black Widow] has a central leading role in this movie. What people are really saying is 'When are you doing a standalone female superhero movie?' The answer is: I don't know. We only do two a year, we know more or less what's coming up through '16/'17. With Widow what's great is the interaction with all the team members, and the question is whether we want to pluck her out of that," Feige told BadAss Digest.
He also told the outlet that doing a Black Widow spin-off film would be possible if the studio had a "great idea." Feige adds that he'd prefer a whole new character should they create a superhero film with a female lead, saying that he'd want to do an origin story.
Nevertheless, Black Widow fans will see Scarlett Johansson reprise her role in Captain America: Winter Soldier on April 4 in theaters. The actress also earlier confirmed that she will still be head on with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, amid pregnancy.
"Everything for Avengers 2 -- we're full steam ahead. We start shooting in three weeks and I'm stunt training and we're good to go," she told Huffington Post.
