‘Captain America’ Star Chris Evans Talks ‘Black Widow’ Solo Film

Despite the character’s popularity and the growing calls for her to receive her own standalone film, Marvel Studios has yet to schedule a Black Widow solo movie. Now, Captain America star Chris Evans has made the case for a Black Widow film during an interview with Elle.

Chris Evans commented on the possibility of a Black Widow film and praised the work of co-star Scarlett Johansson.

“That’s a good question. It would really just clean up, wouldn’t it? Scarlett [Johansson] is so good at everything she does. She’s played such a crucial part in the other films. She always makes her presence so felt—even when there are 50 different superheroes running around onscreen. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens at some point in the future. I’m sure Scarlett would be open to it.”

While Scarlett Johansson has explained that a Black Widow film has not moved forward due to timing, it appears both Johansson and Kevin Feige are more than open to developing a standalone movie featuring the popular heroine at some point.

Until then, fans can see both Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson next summer when Avengers: Infinity War is released in theaters on May 4, 2018.
