With Marvel Studios now finally at work on the long-demanded solo movie for Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, it looks as if the picture could be about to add two more names to its ranks.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, David Harbour and Rachel Weisz are in talks to join the film. Harbour is currently on headlining duties for Neil Marshall’s Hellboy and Weisz is likely best known to genre fans for The Mummy and recently nabbed an Oscar nomination for The Favourite. At this early stage, it’s not known just what roles Harbour and Weisz are lined up for.

If you remember, last month saw Fighting with My Family’s Florence Pugh begin talks to join Black Widow, although Marvel Studios is yet to give up too much information on the movie right now. Like so many upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe outings, it’s expected that we’ll find out a whole lot more about Black Widow after the landscape-changing Avengers: Endgame.

Rumoured to be a prequel film of sorts focussing on Natasha’s early days, Black Widow has Cate Shortland on directing duties.
