Kevin Feige Confirms Development of a Black Widow Spin-Off« FirstShowing.net

Though we'd previously heard about the potential of aS.H.I.E.L.D. moviefrom Samuel L. Jackson, we now have word from Marvel Studios headKevin Feigethat development has begun on feature that would focus solely onBlack Widow, or ratherNatasha Romanoff, the character portrayed inIron Man 2byScarlett Johansson.ComingSoonsnagged the confirmation at a press conference promoting the forthcoming release of the aforementioned Marvel sequel on DVD/Blu-Ray. Feige said,"We've already started discussions with Scarlett about the idea of a solo movie and have begun putting together concepts, butThe Avengerscomes first."

In a perfect world, Marvel would have had time to square away Black Widow either in her own film, or a S.H.I.E.L.D. centric film beforeThe Avengersgot off the ground. That way we wouldn't have had to deal with all the set-up convoluting what should have been a knock-out sequel withIron Man 2. If Columbia wasn't already working on aSpider-Manreboot, the possibility of Marvel Studios bridgingSpider-ManwithThe Avengersin the future by way of Black Widow (since she's very prominent in the web-crawler's comic mythology) would be quite interesting. Either way,we'll get a chance to see the always sexy Scarlett Johansson back in that tight outfit and kicking some asses again whenThe Avengersrolls around in 2012.Do you guys want to see a Black Widow movie?
