Black Widow will be a foray in the genre for Rachel Weisz, after being nominated for an Oscar earlier this year for her performance as Sarah Churchill in the queer period-drama The Favourite and winning the Academy Award in 2006 for her supporting role in The Constant Gardner.
The star is rumoured to be joining the cast but news is yet to be confirmed.
To direct Scarlett Johansson’s outstanding Natasha Romanoff will be Cate Shortland, making Black Widow the first solo-female directed MCU film, as well as the second female-lead entry into the universe.
Also in talks to join the Marvel movie is Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA winner Rachel Weisz, and her role is also being kept under wraps (via Variety).
Weisz is fresh off a competitive awards season where she earned yet more major nominations for playing Sarah Churchill in The Favourite.

While the movie is guaranteed to be action-packed, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently denied reports that it will have an R-rating.
“It never was going to be,” he insisted. “Somebody writes, ‘I hear it’s R-rated!’ And then everybody writes it up.”
