Filmmaker Neil Marshall — who directed The Descent and some of Game of Thrones’ most notable episodes — has revealed his dream Marvel project: a solo Black Widow film. (Remember, we said dream project; he’s not actually making one.)
“I think I’d like to do a big movie with a strong female lead, whether or not she would be a superhero,” Marshall said to Vanity Fair in an interview. “I would love to do a Black Widow movie.”
Marshall said he finds the Widow character “really interesting, she doesn’t have any superpowers, she just has extraordinary skills, and the world that she comes from, being this ex-K.G.B. assassin, I find that really fascinating, yeah.”
