Marvel Movies Update

Comics Continuum reports that David Hayter, who is writing and directing the Black Widow movie for Marvel and Lions Gate, told The Continuum there is progress on the film.

“I kust submitted the final draft of the script, and it has been received very postively,” Hayter told The Continuum. “We are supposed to sit down and discuss casting this week.”

Hayter has a long association with Marvel, having worked on X-Men and X2, and, more recently, Iron Man.
