TheBlack Widowmovie is reportedly set to begin filming next month. At this point in time, Marvel Studios has been as secretive as possible with their slate of movies beyond this summer’sAvengers: Endgame, withSpider-Man: Far From Homebeing the only movie that is confirmed with a release date and all. But we’ve known for some time that Scarlett Johansson is finally going to get the solo outing she deserves within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and she’ll be stepping in front of cameras in the very near future.
According to a new report,Black Widowwill begin filming on February 28. Thesolo entry within the MCUwill be filming in both Miami, Florida and Croatia. It’s also highly likely that they will do some filming in Atlanta, Georgia, as Marvel Studios has essentially set up shop there and films at least some of all of their movies there. It’s stated that production will run through March, but there is currently no word on an exact wrap date. Either way, Natasha Romanoff is getting ready for her close up.
Official plot details are being kept under wraps, but it’s largely been speculated thatBlack Widowwill be a prequel of sorts. What we know for sure is that Cate Shortland (Lore,Berlin Syndrome) has beentapped to direct, working from a script by Jac Schaeffer (Captain Marvel). It was also previously revealed that Scarlett Johansson will be heavily involved as a creative producer, and for her troubles, she’ll be earning a very big payday. But fans have been calling for her to get a solo movie for a very long time and it only seems right that she gets a big cut of what will almost assuredly be a huge box office haul.
Last year,James Gunn was fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. That movie was originally set to begin production this month. However, a search for a new director has delayed things indefinitely. As a result, this report notes that Marvel madeBlack Widowa top priority. Hence, they’re going to get cameras rolling in the very near future. It’s a move that makes sense, given that they’ve had plenty of time to develop the movie, and they also already have the creative team in place. Out of everything we’ve heard is coming down the pipeline in the MCU’s future, this project seems the most ready.
Marvel Studios has been in the habit ofreleasing three movies a yearas of late. This year will see the release ofCaptain Marvel,Avengers: EndgameandSpider-Man: Far From Home. One would assume they would keep that up in 2020, but they don’t currently have any titles locked down. Though, they do have several release dates locked down for August 03, 2025, June 04, 2025, and August 03, 2025. And one of those is very likely going to beBlack Widow.
