Marvel Is Looking For A Female Director For BLACK WIDOW  - Here's Who The Studio Has Met With So Far

Marvel Studios is said to be searching for a female director to helm the Black Window solo film, and although a shortlist hasn't been narrowed down just yet, we do know some of the names they've met with.

It seems Marvel is determined to find a female director for the planned Black Widow solo movie, which would see Scarlett Johansson reprise the role of the lethal Russian spy-turned Avenger.

In their report on S.J. Clarkson becoming the first woman to helm a Star Trek film, THR mentions that Marvel Studios has met with filmmakers such as Deniz Gamze Erguven (the Turkish movie Mustang), Chloe Zhao (The Rider) and Amma Asante (A United Kingdom), among others.

The search is still ongoing, however, and this shouldn't be considered a shortlist - although there's always a chance one of them could land the gig.

What do you guys think? Have you seen any of the above directors' work? If so, which one do you think would be best suited to helm a Black Widow film?

Can I throw Dee Rees' name into the mix? I know a Black Widow movie isn't really her thing, but she's a great storyteller.

Susanne Bier?

Lexi Alexander?

Michelle MacLaren?

Maybe Jennifer Kent? She did the Babadook. I could see some of those tense beats playing well with a Red Room story.

The right answer must be: The most capable director to carry out the job. This is a matter of quality.

The Russos did a great job with BW in CAtWS so they should be at the top of the list!

@Menks123 - Wouldn't that cause Avenger's fatigue with James Cameron?

[frick] all that female director noise, get someone who can just do the job right.
My choice: Chad Stahelski and David Leitch.
