She also wrote "Nasty Women", a remake of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", starring set to star Hathaway and Rebel Wilson.
While DC found success with its first female-fronted stand alone movie in "Wonder Woman", Marvel is yet to open its account with Brie Larson-starrer "Captain Marvel".
If 'Black Widow' comes to be a reality, it will be Marvel's second superhero drama, to be led by a woman.
