Are We Going To Get A Black Widow Movie?

With the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron just around the corner and all the talk about Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel films… a lot of folks are asking about and still wanting a Black Widow movie with Scarlet Johansson. The actress talked with Collider about the possibility of a standalone film and just how long she is set to be with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

First on if the character could lead a standalone film:

I think that there's room for a standalone movie. The character has a really rich origin story and I've been really fortunate to kind of place all these layers on top of one another and kind of build up this character to this point where I think I can now start to peel them away and reveal different sides of her and really focus on—I think I've been able to grow with the character, the character's been able to grow with me.

On if there a possibility of a Black Widow film:

I've spoken to Kevin [Feige] about it. I mean, of course, of course we've had that conversation before, and I think Kevin would also like to see a standalone film. I think I can speak for him and say that. That's all, really. Right now I think this character is used well in this part of the universe, but I think that Kevin—I mean, we've talked about it and we both share similar vision for what could be a standalone series.

On if her contract work if you were asked to headline a film:

My contract has changed. Marvel and myself didn't really know how the fans were gonna react to Black Widow the first time and how she was gonna be—they couldn't anticipate how they would want to use her or if they would want to use her. I mean we invested in that character, but the audience had a great reaction to the character, which has been so awesome. For instance, I wasn't contracted into doing Cap movies, but that storyline worked out so well I kind of branched off and I found myself in that standalone movie. My contract is kind of mutating, I guess [laughs] or morphed to fit the demand of the character.

Black Widow will next appear in Avengers: Age of Ulron opening May 1st.
