Marvel's Black Widow standalone movie finally gets a writer

Natasha Romanoff may finally be getting her own movie.

Marvel has hired screenwriter Jac Schaeffer to pen the script for a long-awaited Black Widow standalone movie, according to Variety.

The character originated on the big screen with Scarlett Johansson in "Iron Man 2" and has since appeared in five other Avengers movies.

The Black Widow will also join "Avengers: Infinity War" this summer.

A standalone Black Widow movie would be just the second female-led flick from Marvel.

"Captain Marvel," starring Brie Larson, is expected to hit theaters March 8, 2019.

Jude Law and Ben Mendelsohn have both been connected to the movie as well.
