BLACK WIDOW Movie Reportedly Lands RED SPARROW Production Designer Maria Djurkovic
In a somewhat ironic twist, the production designer for the movie many accused or "ripping off" Black Widow has now boarded Marvel Studios' planned solo outing for the lethal Avenger. Check it out...
When the trailer for Red Sparrow hit, many fans noticed how similar the backstory of Jennifer Lawrence's lead seemed to be to Black Widow, with some going so far as accusing the spy thriller of ripping off the Marvel character.
Of course, that wasn't the case at all, and if you've watched Red Sparrow you'll know that there are only a few surface similarities. Still, something about the film's aesthetic seems to have caught Marvel's attention.
According to Omega Underground, the studio has hired Maria Djurkovic as the production designer for Black Widow. In addition to Sparrow, Djurkovic has worked on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Intimation Game, and The Snowman - so it definitley sounds like Marvel has a very specific tone in mind for Natasha Romanoff's solo adventure.
No director has been announced yet, but Jac Schaeffer is writing the script. Black Widow is expected to commence production at some point next year.
