If a report from Production Weekly is to be believed, it looks like Marvel Studios could begin production on its Scarlett Johansson-headlined Black Widow film this February.
According to the listing, cameras are set to get rolling on the long-awaited solo movie in late February, shooting in the UK for three months through to mid-May.
Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome) is set to direct Black Widow, with Johansson reprising the role of Natasha Romanoff. Details have been kept under wraps, but it is thought that the movie will take place prior to Black Widow’s MCU debut in Iron Man 2 and explore the character’s origin.
It’s also been rumoured that Marvel Studios has been giving consideration to making the Black Widow movie its first R-rated release, although as it stands at present that is unconfirmed.
