Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige Reveals A Top Secret Marvel Project With Scarlett Johansson

Los Angeles, November 19 - Scarlett Johansson has been one of Marvel Studios' most bankable stars over the years. However, her journey with Marvel came to an end after featuring in her first solo Marvel film "Black Widow", which was released earlier this year. ## This is, however, is not the complete end for Scarlett as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed a top-secret Marvel project with the actress, this time as a producer. A lot has transpired since the release of "Black Widow", which made Johansson file a lawsuit against Disney for allegedly breaching her contract. ## The high-profile lawsuit happened because of the two-way release of "Black Widow". Eventually, there was a settlement reached as both parties agreed to move ahead, though the terms were not disclosed to the public. Johansson's "Tower of Terror" with Disney also got greenlit for the production and now, and a new Marvel Studios project with Lucy actor is also in development. ## "We are already working with Scarlett on another non-Black Widow-related top-secret Marvel Studios project with her as a producer," said the Marvel boss. "Scarlett is one of the most talented, versatile and beloved actors of our time. It has truly been a pleasure to work with someone of her caliber".## "From those epic training sessions preparing for the hallway fight in Iron Man 2 to the around the world press tour in Avengers: Endgame to partnering with you as a producer on Black Widow, working with you Scarlett has truly been one of the most memorable and rewarding collaborations of my career".## "As Marvel's Studios first and longest-running female hero, Scarlett has stood her ground amongst a sea of men — many named Chris — and paved the way for so many other characters in the MCU: Carol Danvers, Wanda Maximoff, Shuri, Jennifer Walters, Monica Rambeau, Kamala Khan, just to name but a few," Feige continued. ## "Scarlett embodied Natasha brilliantly over an incredible action-packed period spanning 11 years, eight films featuring countless stunts and fight scenes, a Civil War, an Infinity War, and dozens of different hairstyles, all culminating in one of the MCU's most anticipated standalone movies, Black Widow", he added.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Sooryavanshi Sets Eyes On Rs. 200 Crores After Strong Second Week Finish

Mumbai, November 19 - Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" is still in the race to become Bollywood's first Rs. 200 crore net collection film during the covid-19 pandemic. After finishing the first week on high, the cop-drama maintained the stronghold in the second week as well with a drop of 62% (on par with the pre-covid level) for Rs. 45.57 crores. ## Directed by hit master Rohit Shetty, "Sooryavanshi" currently stands at Rs. 166.23 crores net and Rs. 196.15 crore gross in India. Overseas, it has grossed Rs. 53 crores so far, for its total worldwide gross of Rs. 249.15 crores. It will cross Rs. 250 crore gross on its third Friday at the worldwide box office. ## While "Sooryavanshi" has paved the way for upcoming Bollywood biggies, Rs. 200 crore India net will be a landmark foot if it is able to achieve. Yash Raj Films' "Bunty Aur Babli 2", which opens today (Nov. 19), received negative reviews from critics and audiences, which will directly benefit "Sooryavanshi" to keep the momentum going for one more week until "Satyameva Jayate 2" and "Antim - The Final Truth" arrive on Thursday (Nov. 25) and Friday (Nov. 26), respectivly. ## "Sooryavanshi" is Akshay Kumar's 5th highest-grossing film at the India box office. If it enters Rs. 200 crore club, then it will cross "2.0" (190.48 cr.), and possibly "Mission Mangal" (203.08 cr.) to finish in the top 3 highest-grossing films. For Katrina Kaif, who plays the female lead, "Sooryavanshi" is the 6th best-grossing film, and will definitely enter the top 5 by crossing "Bang Bang" (174.51 cr.), by the end of this week. ## Produced by Reliance Entertainment, Rohit Shetty Picturez, Dharma Productions, and Cape of Good Films, "Sooryavanshi" is the 4th film in Shetty's cop universe. It also stars Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh in the extended cameos as Singham and Simmba, respectively. ## Stay tuned...
