Kevin Feige pushed for Black Widow’s action to be “more truthful” and “more visceral,” according to the movie’s director.
This news comes by way of Variety, who spoke to Black Widow director, Cate Shortland, about the movie and especially the action contained within. She said as soon as Feige saw what she was doing with Black Widow, he pushed her to go even further.
“Kevin said, ‘Make it more truthful, make it more visceral,'” Shortland told Variety. “As soon as they saw what I was doing, they pushed me to go further. And I think that’s why Kevin is an amazing producer. Because he sees what you try to create, and he encourages you to do it more honestly, I suppose.”
Variety’s report says Shortland pushed for the action in Black Widow “to reinforce the visceral nature of Natasha’s world.” Marvel was unsure of Shortland’s approach at first, though, according to the director.
