Fresh from her Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for
The Favourite, Rachel Weisz (
Constantine, The Mummy) looks set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to
Variety, Weisz is currently in talks for Marvel's
Black Widow movie, although they stress that she has yet to sign on the dotted line. Should the deal go through, Weisz would star alongside Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, and
David Harbour.
Like Harbour, details on Weisz's role have not been shared, but based on
those recent character breakdowns there is a strong possibility that she'll be playing one of the movie's villains.
Hat-tip to
That Hashtag Show, who first mentioned Weisz in connection with this movie several weeks ago.
