From Scarlett Johannsons IMDB page (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424060/?ref_=nv_sr_1).

Dear god I hope it is true.

[Gotthammer]

Hope so too. The listed director is the writer of Watchmen and Xmen (and the VA of Solid Snake) and has been trying to get a Widow film off the ground for a while - which could mean he finally got it greenlit or it's old news resurfacing.

[Brakkart]

Just watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier yesterday and if this is true it would be great news because the ending of that film pretty much screams out for a solo Black Widow movie (with Nick Fury likely playing a decent role too) as she has a whole mess of stuff she needs to sort out in the fallout from how that movie ends, let alone whatever Ultron puts her through in Avengers 2 as I think she's got a more prominent role in that film than she had in the first one (pretty sure I read Whedon saying that somewhere).

[Wolfshade]

Oh, this could be very exciting. Let us hope that it has good writers

[Necron2.0]

If they play it like Bourne Identity, and not at all like Captain America, then it could work. Otherwise it won't. For myself the only time I found the character even remotely interesting was when she was playing either Loki or that Russian general like chumps. Otherwise I just didn't find her all that memorable. Of course, I should also mention, I'm not much a fan of Scarlett Johansson either. I don't hate her, per se. She just leaves me lukewarm.

I think this should be called "we will all watch it for dat ***" Aka: Scarlet = Drool!

It's hilarious and horrifying at the same time

[Mr Mystery]

That's inspired!

[Darren Richardson]

LOL

I love it when a star is willing to take the piss out of themselves :)

Really Marvel should hurry up and start filming, but then again, we don't want a rushed crappy film do we?

[Mr Mystery]

I know this won't be a particularly popular opinion, but I feel Black Widow needed a wait for a stand alone origins type film. For her to work as a spy type character requires a slower build up. Iron Man 2 introduced her as a badass spy, and Avengers Assemble began to show a harrowing back story, built upon in Age of Ultron.

I'm now thoroughly intrigued and want to know more. I'm not sure this would work in reverse.

[Darren Richardson]

hmm, Mystery you may have a point, I personally hope it's a story which features her past but is also set in her present which is suffering teh consiquences of her past actions, kinda like that Mini series of black widow that Marvel put out a while back, something rose....

ohh found it https://comicstore.marvel.com/Black-Widow-The-Name-of-the-Rose/digital-comic/26310

The Name of the Rose, Read that a while ago, very impressed by it....

[CoffeeGrunt]

Looking forward to the new angle Marvel are going with. Here's hoping they keep up the standard while remembering that women do, in fact, exist. :P
