Good news for fans of Scarlett Johansson and Black Widow: Neil Marshall, known for directing episodes of Game Of Thrones, would love to direct a Black Widow movie.

Speaking with Vanity Fair recently, Neil Marshall stated he is interested in directing a movie with a strong female lead who doesn't have a whole lot of superpowers:

"I think I’d like to do a big movie with a strong female lead, whether or not she would be a superhero. I’m more interested in characters like Scarlett Johansson in Lucy. I’m less interested in people with superpowers because I can’t identify with them. Very rarely do they get killed off, and when they do get killed off, chances are they’re going to be back . . . somehow. Yes, I’d love to do a big splashy movie with a great female lead, but it has to be someone I can believe in."
With Scarlett Johansson and Black Widow then brought up:

"I would love to do a Black Widow movie. That’s perfect, I would love to do that. That character is really interesting, she doesn’t have any superpowers, she just has extraordinary skills, and the world that she comes from, being this ex-K.G.B. assassin, I find that really fascinating, yeah."

1. Read that Scarlett can't do a Russian accent.

So unless she gets lessons for the Red Room/origin scenes it'll be awkward if she doesn't speak. BW has James Bond franchise potential if Marvel does the right thing here.

2. She's my favorite Avenger

After appearing in thee Marvel movies, I don't think a lack of accent will be a problem.

3. Yeah, neither do I really

Only annoying fan boys like me will be get all irritated about it.
