Black Widow gets her “biggest role yet” in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014 but will Scarlett Johansson ever headline her own solo movie about the superspy Avenger?
While promoting Thor: The Dark World, Marvel Studio boss Kevin Feige is asked about future films including the possibility of a female hero lead movie.
“Good question. I don’t know what they’re doing or what they’re planning,’ Feige told Movies.com. “I know we have numerous exciting female heroes, whether none of them are currently slated, some of them are in development — frankly, you can look at what Jane Foster does in [Thor: The Dark World], look at Pepper Potts literally saving the day and defeating the bad guy in Iron Man 3, and I’d say we already have great female heroes that are showcased and play major roles in our universe now. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as you will see, features Black Widow in her biggest role yet in any of our films. In terms of a solo stand-alone female hero, I’m not sure when that will be. We make two movies a year, we’ve planned through 2015 and we have some ideas of what we’re doing in 2016 and 2017, so we’ll see what happens.”
Black Widow will star in her own brand new comic series by Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto coming in 2014.
