Marvel Studios Has Reportedly Met With More Than 65 Directors For The Solo BLACK WIDOW Film
Just a few days ago we learned of three directors that Marvel met with for the solo Black Widow film, and now we're hearing that the list of filmmakers the studio has met with is bigger than we thought...
With the recent release of Avengers: Infinity War and the massive success of Black Panther, 2018 is already proving to be an incredibly lucrative year for Marvel. However, this hasn't stopped the studio from looking to the future.
One film currently in the works is the solo Black Widow adventure, and Marvel is actively working to move forward with the project. They’ve already enlisted Jac Schaeffer to pen the script, and just recently it was revealed that the studio met with Deniz Gamze Erguven, Chloe Zhao and Amma Asante during their search for a director.
Now, we’ve learned that Marvel has actually met with a lot more directors than that.
According to Variety’s Justin Kroll, the studio has seen “more than 65 directors” about the possibility of helming the film.
While this could be interpreted as Marvel having some trouble finding a suitable candidate, Kroll notes that the studio is being “extremely thorough.” If Marvel is indeed hoping the Black Widow film will be a bigger success than Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, they're obviously going to make sure they get the best possible director for the job.
