All-women Marvel movie would be \'explosive, unstoppable\': Scarlett Johansson

Deccan Chronicle  

'Avengers' actor Scarlett Johansson is totally up for an all-women Marvel movie stating that any such film would be "explosive and unstoppable." However, pressing on the fact that powerful women are associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she added, "that group of actresses is so incredibly powerful and when they come together, it's explosive and unstoppable." The 'Captain Marvel' star continued, "You know, I'm not in charge of the future of Marvel, but it is something that we're really passionate about and we love, and I feel like if enough people out in the world talk about how much they want it, maybe it'll happen." Although Marvel and its president Kevin Feige are yet to confirm an all-women movie, the studio had announced a new slate of upcoming female-centric films during San Diego Comic-Con in July.
