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.”
The character Black Widow first debuted in 2010’s “Iron Man 2” and since then has appeared in all the “Avengers” films as well as “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Civil War.” Interest in a standalone outing for the SHIELD superspy 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.
“Black Widow” boosters also note Johansson’s high box office draw outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with her 2014 action hit “Lucy” earning almost $500 million worldwide.
Disney-Marvel projects are dated through 2019, ending with “Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2,” in which Black Widow is all but guaranteed to appear. The 2020 slate and beyond will determine if she gets her solo chance to shine.
Marvel declined to comment.
