Marvel Confirms the Development of A Solo Black Widow Movie

Outside of a few supporting roles for women here and there, the comic book movie genre has been a complete boys club since its inception. In fact, blockbuster movies in general treat women more like plot devices to make male characters more heroic, rather than writing their roles with respect and creativity.
During the press tour for Thor 2, Feige’s comments were “I’m not sure when that will be” and “we’ll see what happens.” Not exactly ringing endorsement for a female-led Marvel movie. Apparently, things have changed over the past few months and now Feige, when asked specifically about Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, said that they are actively developing her own solo movie. Feige was speaking to Total Film about Captain America 2 and how that film gives us Black Widow’s biggest role yet and how the upcoming Avengers 2 will give us details about her past. He then added –
“We learn more about her past and learn more about where she came from and how she became in that film. The notion of exploring that even further in her own film would be great, and we have some development work with that.”
Obviously Marvel has a ton of projects in development, and it’s possible that a Black Widow movie will never move beyond that point. However, with Warner Bros, looking to turn Gal Gadot into a solo star as Wonder Woman eventually, maybe the House of Ideas is looking to be the first out of the box with a female superhero movie.
Until then, fans can look forward to seeing more of the Black Widow the Captain America : The Winter Soldier hits theaters on April 4.
