TVC E. AVENGERS director Joss Whedon has spoken out about directing a Marvel’s Black Widow
movie starring Scarlett Johansson.
The filmmaker said he was done after Avengers: Age of Ultron, but was recently asked in an interview about returning for a Black Widow movie.
He said: “If somebody pointed to me and said, ‘You want to make a Black Widow movie?’ the answer would be ‘Duh.’
“For two reasons: I think that character really is very interesting and very earthbound and so it’s the kind of action that I got to do less of with somebody like Thor or The Vision.
“When you get into your Superman territory it’s harder to maintain that sort of gritty action that the Russo brothers do so beautifully.”
Whedon is particularly attracted to the project because of Johansson’s take on the character.
He added: “She’s got that kind of thing… and really do a spy thriller, really do a good, paranoid sort of John LeCarre on crack sort of thing.
“Also, Scarlett Johansson is just delightful. She works really hard, but she just spends most of her time cracking me up, so it would be a fun shoot.”
