The oft-talked about, long-rumoured Black Widow movie is sort of official!

Hurrah!

According to Variety, Cate Shortland has signed up to take on directing duties on the proposed movie. Although Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed this yet, with all the talk about a Black Widow movie, plus this news, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that the movie is now happening.

Marvel Studios reportedly met with over 70 filmmakers before choosing Shortland for the gig. Scarlett Johansson is expected to reprise the role of Black Widow.
