Scarlett Johansson On Honoring Jewish Identity And Her “Very Strong” Grandmother With ‘Eleanor The Great’; “It Would Be Fun” To Direct For The MCU In Future – Cannes Studio

Johansson has recently revealed she has no plans to return to the role of Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (she also serves as executive producer), but when Deadline asked if she would consider directing a big action film, or a Marvel film specifically, she said: “I think the movies that I like that are big action movies also have the human connectivity piece. Even producing Black Widow and being a part of the production of that, and the development of the story, and the story between Natasha and Yelena… [there is] I think, a way of doing it, a way of maintaining the integrity of the idea of human connection, family, disappointment, all of the things that were themes in [Eleanor the Great], and doing it in a giant way in a giant universe — there’s ways of doing that… So, yeah, definitely, it could be, it would be fun.”
