Scarlett Johansson has confirmed that her secret MCU project is still in development at the studio. The project, which was first mentioned by Kevin Feige at Johansson's American Cinematheque tribute in 2021, had its fate put into question due to legal disputes and lack of information. However, Johansson recently provided an update, stating that the project is still happening but on hold due to the writers' strike. Little is known about the project, but speculation suggests it could involve a team-up of female heroes or a Yelena Belova solo film.
