Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has confirmed that discussions are already in the works to have Scarlett Johansson reprise her role as Natasha Romanoff in a Black Widow spinoff film, though the project will take a backburner while The Avengers is in development.
“We’ve already started discussions with Scarlett about the idea of a solo movie and have begun putting together concepts,” said Feige in a press conference for the Iron Man 2 Blu-ray/DVD today, “but ‘The Avengers’ comes first.”

Jackson, Leslie Bibb, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Mara, Olivia Munn, Don Cheadle, Helena Mattsson, John Slattery, Clark Gregg, Stan Lee, and Garry Shandling.
