With a good bit of costumes and other pieces revealed about the Black Widow film during D23, fans hoping for some sort of a teaser were a bit disappointed. While we don’t have that, we have finally moved beyond just having the logo available as Andy Park, who does a lot of concept art and pre-production material for Marvel Studios, has revealed the first illustrated poster for the film.
The film is set for a May 1st, 2020 debut.
The film is set to star Scarlet Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, Ray Winstone, and Rachel Weisz.
We learned previously that Cate Shortland has signed on for the project after working on the Nazi drama film Lore previously. The Australian director doesn’t have a huge slate of films in her list but it factors into how Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige have worked previously when exploring projects like this, often to great success.
The screenplay has Jac Shaeffer turning in the most recent script for it and is according to initial reports is supposed take place before the events of the first Avengers film back in 2012.
