Filmmaker Neil Marshall -- who directed The Descent and some of Game of Thrones' most notable episodes -- has revealed his dream Marvel project: a solo Black Widow film. (Remember, we said dream project; he's not actually making one.)

“I think I’d like to do a big movie with a strong female lead, whether or not she would be a superhero,” Marshall said to Vanity Fair in an interview. “I would love to do a Black Widow movie.”Marshall said he finds the Widow character “really interesting, she doesn’t have any superpowers, she just has extraordinary skills, and the world that she comes from, being this ex-K.G.B. assassin, I find that really fascinating, yeah.”The director "can't identify" with super-powered heroes. "Very rarely do they get killed off, and when they do get killed off, chances are they’re going to be back… somehow," said Marshall.Marvel had tried to get a solo Black Widow movie off the ground well over a decade ago to no avail. With the fan base becoming increasingly vocal in their desire to see a female superhero solo movie , it's widely believed Black Widow might be the Marvel character best positioned to get her own -- someday.
