With director Cate Shortland's Black Widow now playing in theaters and available on Disney+ via Premiere Access, I recently spoke with Rachel Weisz about making the latest Marvel movie. As you’ve seen in the numerous trailers and clips, Black Widow takes place right after the events of Captain America: Civil War and features Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) having to confront her past and the choices that led her to becoming an Avenger. Written by Eric Pearson with a story Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson, the film also stars Florence Pugh, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, William Hurt, and Ray Winstone.
During the interview, Weisz revealed what surprised her about making a Marvel movie, what she was told about her character's future, that even though the film deals with serious stuff it’s also got some laugh out loud sequences, her reaction to the finished film, and more. In addition, she talked about future projects like playing Elizabeth Taylor in A Special Relationship and the status of working with Colin Farrell in Todd Solondz's Love Child.
