Black Widow: Excitement Starting To Build

From Geek Tyrant

Marvel Studio is in full on script development mode for Scarlett Johansson's long-awaited Black Widow movie! To catch up on all that news, click here. One thing is for sure, and that is that fans are excited about what is going to come of this. Now the directors of Avengers: Infinity War have commented on the news, and if you're curious about what they are thinking, Anthony Russo told the Happy Sad Confused podcast that it's "crazy exciting" and Joe Russo added:

"Yeah, we're very happy for that. I mean it's such a rich and interesting character. There's so much to explore with a character whose history was as a villain, and you know, Scarlett does such a good job of playing that character and people are so used to that character that you forget the character's history, and so there's a lot of compelling stories to tell about someone who has a dark past."

Black Widow: Is that love, Agent Romanoff?

From The Wrap

Marvel Studios has picked Blacklist Screenwriter Jac Schaeffer to write “Black Widow,” the first solo film featuring the marvel superhero played since 2010 by Scarlett Johansson, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.

Schaeffer made her feature screenwriting debut with the 2009 Tribeca film “TiMER,” which she also directed. She wrote the 2014 Blacklist pick “The Shower,” a female-centric sci-fi action comedy with Anne Hathaway attached to star and produce, as well as “Nasty Women,” a remake of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at MGM set to star Hathaway and Rebel Wilson. Schaeffer most recently penned the Disney short “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure,” which played before screenings of Pixar’s “Coco.”

Black Widow first debuted in 2010’s “Iron Man 2” and since then has appeared in both “Avengers” films as well as “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Civil War.” She’ll also be seen in this year’s “Avengers: Infinity War.” Interest in a standalone outing for the character has consistently been high, with a 2016 Fandago poll finding “Black Widow” the top pick for the Avenger fans most want to see in a solo film.

Follow the History of Black Widow Pt. 13

Natasha survives the Crossing, goes up against Onslaught, meets the Thunderbolts, and more!

From Marvel Comics

A super spy, a super hero, an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Avenger—Natasha Romanoff has been all these things and much more since making her way into the Marvel Universe over 50 years ago.

With Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and other Marvel Cinematic Universe outings continuing to raise the Black Widow’s profile, we chronicle her exciting history!

The Black Widow reunited with the rest of Earth’ Mightiest Heroes in IRON MAN #324 as Immortus’ plot to subvert Tony Stark deepened. Natasha’s friend Janet Van Dyne came out of a forced hibernation in a new Wasp form in AVENGERS #394 to aid her team in the struggle.

The Widow led her teammates through time itself to pluck a teenage Tony Stark out of the timestream in AVENGERS: TIMESLIDE, so as to help fight Tony’ older counterpart in the present. Government agent Gyrich and his Mandroids tried to stop Natasha and the Avengers in IRON MAN #325, while young Tony fell in a clash with the conflicted elder Stark. Ultimately, the present-day Iron Man sacrificed himself in AVENGERS #395 to stop Immortus, and the Widow helped to revive young Tony using Iron Man’s tech.

It was already a forgone conclusion that busty actress Scarlett Johansson would be poured into the vinyl once again to reprise her role as the Black Widow in the upcoming "Avengers" movie. What was not expected were Marvel Studios' plans to give the actress her own superhero franchise.

Marvel has just announced that after the release of "The Avengers" in 2012, Johansson and her sexy superspy character will be given their own series of films.

Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, announced at a press event this week, "We've already started discussions with Scarlett about the idea of a solo movie and have begun putting together concepts, but "The Avengers" comes first."

As most of you know, Johansson made quite a splash playing the Black Widow this past summer in "Iron Man 2" and will join Robert Downey, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and Mark Ruffalo in "The Avengers"

The curvy actress is reportedly ecstatic about playing the character again, and she feels more than ready to the role to the next level in a solo outing, remarking, "(I) would be happy to don the cat suit again and, you know, carry the torch"

The First Look At Scarlett Johansson As The Black Widow In Iron Man 2

Entertainment Weekly magazine has scored the very first images from "Iron Man 2", including the very first shots of Scarlett Johansson as The Black Widow. The Photos are part of a special "Comic-Con" issue that hits newsstands tomorrow.

Here is the skinny on Johansson's character from the issue:

Adding more flesh and blood to the new movie, Scarlett Johansson joined the cast as Stark’s mysterious new assistant, Natasha, who has an alter ego of her own, Black Widow. That introduction inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries. "The men want it to be, like, 'Ooh, the girls are fighting over Tony,' but it's not as standard as that," says Paltrow. "There's a weird male catfight fantasy. Downey agrees. He believes what differentiates the franchise from other superhero series can be summarized as follows: "We're horny. Not, like, can't-bring-your-kids horny, but just…horny."

I have to admit that Scarlett looks pretty good as The Black Widow, maybe not as hot as she did in "The Spirit".....okay let's cut through the bull, she looks hot no matter what. She could be wearing a ton of horse dung and we guys would be climbing over each other to sneak a look.
