âI didnât find Black Widow relatable/interestingâ Not everything is for you Matt we went over this with Black Panther three years ago. If you want to see a character with tons of privilege and some daddy issues whine and blow stuff up for two hours there are already three Iron Man movies.
Black Widowâs director Cate Shortland on âinvoluntary hysterectomyâ clap-back
âSo Eric, who is our writer, had written a joke about women being in bad moods because they have their period, Shortland recalls. And I remember Florence and Scarlett and I reading it and just being like, âOh, my God, this is ridiculous.â
The director says she almost cut the joke entirely, but after discussing with her actors, ultimately decided to âanswer it.â She didnât clarify if that meant improvising on the day of or going back for traditional rewrites, but the outcome was the final digression on involuntary hysterectomies.
I love it, Shortland says. Because itâs like, if youâre gonna make that joke, Iâm gonna unleash Florence Pugh on you. Sheâs gonna Yelena you. Itâs one of my favorite moments in the film.âÂ
