The Internet Reacts to ‘Black Widow’ Solo Movie News

After years of anticipation, vague teases from Marvel Studios, and a similar film being made by 20th Century Fox, it looks like a Black Widow solo movie could be on the way.

A recent report announced that a Black Widow solo movie is in the early stages of development, with TiMER director and Blacklist screenwriter Jac Schaeffer writing the script.

“Sources say this is still very early development,” Variety reports, “as the film has no greenlight, but naming a writer is the closest the studio has come to moving forward on a standalone pic.” The report also states Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige met with several potential candidates to write the film before choosing Schaeffer. Marvel execs have met with Black Widow actress Scarlett Johansson to discuss what they wanted in the script.

At the moment, it’s unknown if and when the Black Widow movie will make it onscreen, considering the somewhat-ambiguous nature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4 slate. Still, that hasn’t stopped people from getting pretty darn excited about the film moving forward, and expressing that excitement on Twitter.

Here’s a round-up of some of our favorite tweets about a Black Widow movie being in development.
