A new fan-made poster for theBlack Widowmovie combines the world of Marvel with the gritty art ofJohn Wickand it looks like it could be a legit poster for the movie. TheBlack Widowmovie is currently in the very early stages of development according to reports that surfaced last week. Superhero newcomer Jac Schaeffer has been typed to pen the script with collaboration fromScarlett Johansson, and it has been rumored that they’ll be getting to work on the story as soon as next month.
Marvel fans have been asking about astandalone Black Widow moviesince the character first showed up in 2010’sIron Man 2and now Marvel is actively pursuing the movie. Since the news dropped, fans have been cautiously optimistic about what aBlack Widowmovie will mean for the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chris Hemsworth has hinted at the return ofThoras well, so we might be seeing more familiar faces in the new phase than once thought.
The new fan-madeBlack Widowposter was made by The Geek Keenan and was found on Reddit. The new poster is inspired byJohn Wick: Chapter 2’s imagery, except that it has more of a purple coloring as opposed to the more red from the original poster. As previously noted, the poster looks incredibly professional and has gotten fans pretty excited about the prospects of a standaloneBlack Widowmovie hitting theaters, but even more exciting would be the idea of aJohn Wick-style movie within the MCU with Scarlett Johansson starring as the titular character. It’s not that far-fetched of an idea, but we still have to wait and see of the movie even gets officially announced by Marvel Studios.
The idea behind agrittier, R-ratedBlack Widowmovie is an exciting idea, but more than likely won’t happen at Disney, especially since thecharacter has been rooted in the MCUfor nearly 10 years. To see a sharp left turn into R-rated territory might be too much of a stretch, but the idea may be entertained with Disney’s new acquisition of Fox’s Marvel properties. For now, we’ll just have to speculate about the style of theBlack Widowmovie.
Disney CEO Bob Eiger is reportedly considering an R-rated division for Marvel movies, so who knows at this point. TheBlack Widowmovie could end tackling the character’s origins, which would suit her dark backstory quite well.Black Widowis currently in theearly stages of development, so anything is possible at this time, and the movie might not even see the light of day. For now, you can check out Black Widow in the upcoming releases ofInfinity Warand the untitledAvengers 4movie, both of which will help to usher in the next phase of the MCU along withGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The new fan-madeBlack Widowposter comes fromThe Geek Keenan’s Twitteraccount.
