He helmed the first two Avengers movies before leaving the Marvel cinematic universe, but it appears that Joss Whedon hasn’t ruled out returning to the superhero world as he told IGN that he would potentially be up for directing a stand-alone Black Widow movie.
“If somebody pointed to me and said, ‘you want to make a Black Widow movie?’ the answer would be ‘Duh'”, he said to the website.
“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. And she’s got that kind of thing…and really do a spy thriller, really do a good, paranoid sort of John Le Carré 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”, he added.
We’re loving the idea of this, and Whedon works so wonderfully in that world. Do you think he would make a great stand-alone Black Widow movie? Obviously there’s nothing on the cards at the moment with Captain Marvel being the latest film to be added to the massive Marvel roster, but that film isn’t due until 2019. It could be quite some time until Black Widow is given her own time to shine.
