Filmmaker Lynn Shelton, best known for indie films such as "My Sister's Sister" and "Laggies", has revealed that the Marvel Studio had approached her for "Black Widow" movie. At a panel on the sidelines of the South By Southwest Festival, the 54-year-old director said she was in early discussion to helm the much-awaited project, reported Variety.

"They talked to me, I think, early rounds. They were looking at women, maybe men too, but I know a couple women directors they were also talking to about 'Black Widow' and the other one was the one that Chloe (Zhang) got," Shelton said.
