Scarlett Johansson Is Producing a New Marvel Movie, But Which One?

 

Scarlett Johansson is making waves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) once again—this time, not as an Avenger, but as a producer. While fans have long associated Johansson with her iconic role as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, she is now taking on a new role behind the camera, leaving many wondering: which Marvel movie is she producing?

Johansson’s return to the MCU as a producer was hinted at by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who in 2021 mentioned that Johansson would be involved in a “top-secret Marvel project.” Speculation has been buzzing ever since, with fans eager to know what film she could be working on. Now, it appears that Johansson has taken the reins as a producer for *Thunderbolts*, a film that’s set to explore the darker, anti-hero side of the Marvel universe.

*Thunderbolts* will bring together a team of morally complex characters like Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, U.S. Agent, and Taskmaster. Johansson’s deep understanding of the MCU, particularly with her connection to Florence Pugh’s Yelena, positions her perfectly to guide this project. Her creative input could help shape *Thunderbolts* into a character-driven story, similar to the emotionally charged *Black Widow*.

While fans are unlikely to see Natasha Romanoff return from the dead in this project, Johansson’s influence behind the scenes could lead to meaningful narrative connections to Black Widow’s legacy. Yelena’s development as the new Black Widow and her interactions with the morally ambiguous team could make this film one of the most intriguing entries in Marvel’s Phase 5.

With Johansson’s producer role now confirmed, excitement is building for *Thunderbolts* and the unique touch she’ll bring to the project. It’s clear that while her days as Natasha may be over, Scarlett Johansson’s involvement with the MCU is far from finished.

Stay tuned for more details as *Thunderbolts* continues to take shape under Johansson’s expert guidance!
