It’s been known for some time that a Black Widow standalone movie has been in development at Disney owned Marvel Studios. But now, a new rumor has surfaced which says that the Scarlett Johansson lead film might be R-Rated.
This rumor surfaced from a tweet by Charles Murphy, a scooper from That Hashtag Show. Disney CEO Bob Iger has already confirmed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe might go for some R-rated movies in the future. Murphy tweeted that Black Widow might be the one they start off with. Check out the tweet below:
I’m not saying it will be for sure (no way to know what they will settle on at this point), but they have recently said that R-rated MCU films ARE a possibility, so it is a possibility. So if BW ends up R-rated, don’t be shocked.

Fox has already developed R-Rated movies like Deadpool and Logan, so it is a big possibility that Marvel might soon do this as well seeing as the movies have been successful. Disney CEO Bog Iger has confirmed that there is a big possibility that Deadpool and the Wolverine will join the MCU in the future. Logan and Deadpool has proved that an R-Rated superhero movie has the potential to score big at the box office. Deadpool grossed $783 million at the box office in 2016.
The Black Widow standalone movie is rumored to be based in 2006 and will describe Natasha Romanoff journey before she became an Avenger. Cate Shortland will be directing the movie and will be assisted by Jac Shaeffer as the script writer of the movie.
