BLACK WIDOW Star Scarlett Johansson Says She's Still Producing Undisclosed MCU Project

Despite a turbulent relationship with Disney, Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson has confirmed that she is still set to produce an undisclosed Marvel Studios project

Following the character's death in Avengers: Endgame and prequel adventure in the Black Widow solo movie, Scarlett Johansson recently made it clear that she is officially done playing Natasha Romanoff - but that doesn't mean she's completely finished with the MCU.

During the Black Widow press rounds a few years ago, Kevin Feige revealed that he was collaborating with Johansson in a producing capacity on a "non-Black Widow related top-secret Marvel Studios project," and the actress has now confirmed that she is still on board... but progress has stalled thanks to the ongoing WGA strike.

"It is still happening. Yes," Johansson told ComicBook.com during the Asteroid City junket. "It is still happening, [but] not currently because nothing is happening right now. We're all sort of in this holding pattern as we wait out the writers' strike and potentially our own guild strike, and so on and so forth."

"Right before the strike, we were in the middle of developing it, and now everything is at a simmer," she added.

Johansson's relationship with Disney soured due to a Black Widow pay dispute, and the resulting legal battle led to speculation that ties would likely be severed, but that obviously wasn't the case. As far as we know, she is also set to produce Taika Waititi's Tower of Terror movie for the Mouse House.

We still have no idea what project Johansson is attached to (we assume it's a film, and not a Disney+ series), but Marvel Studios has since unveiled its Phase 5 slate, so there's a chance the project has already been announced.

Natasha may be gone, but the Black Widow mantle will live on with her little sister Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), who we will next see in the Thunderbolts movie.

@Vigor - Since it’s non-Black Widow related, I have a feeling it will be this….

@WeaponXCII - you see. I hope it's not exclusively a feminist production. I don't mind seeing it. But then women directors/producers are typecast. That's not what feminism is about

@Vigor - Agree on all those points. I suppose that I was making an educated guess based on what I know about Johansson. Typecasting a little myself, I guess you could say.

@WeaponXCII - I understand it. Afterall Johansson herself has stated she wants to promote the women centric movies

I still think it'll be probably about the Widows and Taskmaster after the events of Black Widow.

If it involves Rachel Weisz to return as Melina Vostokoff, the better.
