David Harbour, star of Stranger Things, has expressed his delight at joining the MCU and getting to work with Black Widow director Cate Shortland.
Many fans are excited to finally see the long-awaited Black Widow solo movie, acting as a prequel to events we have already seen on screen. David Harbour will be appearing in the film and he has spoken to ComicBook.com about what a dream it is to be involved with the MCU:
“Yeah. Yeah. Those movies, there’s a reason why they are the zeitgeist that they are. The guys that I’ve met over there who are making these movies, like [Louis] D’Esposito and [Kevin] Feige, they just seem like the best in the business in a certain way in terms of that particular thing. And the great thing about them and about all the people that work on these movies is that it really feels like an amateur movie, and I don’t mean this in terms of a negative thing. Amateur stems from the word ‘amo,’ to love. People just doing it for the love of it as opposed to just doing it for a paycheck. And that’s really what it feels like. It feels like these guys just love, love, love movies, and they want to make fun, exciting movies.”

Harbour also commented on how impressed he is with the Black Widow director: “This woman, Cate Shortland, who is directing this movie is one of the best directors I’ve ever worked with. She’s so, so smart, and makes such beautiful indie movies. The fact that you’d put someone like that at the helm of one of these huge action movies — and she pays such attention to the story and such attention to character speaks volumes.”
Harbour then went on to reiterate how delighted he is to be a part of the franchise: “The fact that these guys are so good at what they do, and so passionate about what they do, it feels tremendous. I’m very, very happy with the situation, working on it now. It’s on a scale and on a passionate level unlike anything I’ve ever done.”
