Black Widow writer offers first pages of a hypothetical screenplay
Joining the clamor for a solo movie based on Marvel’s Black Widow character, comics writer Nathan Edmondson has developed the first six pages of a Black Widow screenplay. Last month, Marvel unveiled a five-year plan to give fans everything from a Doctor Strange film to a two-part Avengers sequel tackling the Infinity War—but no Black Widow movie. In response, Black Widow fans took their gripes to Twitter on the off-chance that a professional writer would start a screenplay for them. And now Edmondson, who writes the Black Widow comic for Marvel, has written the beginning of said screenplay, depicting the female ex-KGB agent in Berlin kicking butt, giving sass, and even dressing up like an elderly woman (perhaps to emphasize that Scarlett Johansson looks great no matter what she wears).
