Good news for fans of Scarlett Johansson and Black Widow: Neil Marshall, known for directing episodes of Game Of Thrones, would love to direct a Black Widow movie.
Speaking with Vanity Fair recently, Neil Marshall stated he is interested in directing a movie with a strong female lead who doesn't have a whole lot of superpowers:
"I think Id like to do a big movie with a strong female lead, whether or not she would be a superhero. Im more interested in characters like Scarlett Johansson in Lucy. Im less interested in people with superpowers because I cant identify with them. Very rarely do they get killed off, and when they do get killed off, chances are theyre going to be back . . . somehow. Yes, Id love to do a big splashy movie with a great female lead, but it has to be someone I can believe in."
With Scarlett Johansson and Black Widow then brought up:
"I would love to do a Black Widow movie. Thats perfect, I would love to do that. That character is really interesting, she doesnt have any superpowers, she just has extraordinary skills, and the world that she comes from, being this ex-K.G.B. assassin, I find that really fascinating, yeah."
