There has been a lot of talk over the years about how much freedom Marvel Studios gives filmmakers when it comes to action. Lucrecia Martel was one of those who had her eye on directing Black widow and claimed, “At the meeting they told me, ‘We need a female director because we need someone who is primarily responsible for developing Scarlett Johansson’s character.'”

“They also told me, ‘Don’t worry about the action scenes, we’ll take care of that.’ I thought, well, I’d really like to meet Scarlett Johansson, but I’d also really like to do the action sequences.”

Eternal Director Chloé Zhao later denied this, saying: “From day one, Marvel said, ‘Here are the tools we use. We need your version. We don’t want three different movies, we want your movie.’ They would help me because I’ve never used those tools before.”

“I would probably say that the myth isn’t entirely true, and I don’t think I’m the only filmmaker who would say that. My God, for a year and a half I sat in front of a big screen three times a week for a couple of hours at a time, making decisions on every detail of what visual effects might look like in the real world.”

“I hand-drawn stick figures and storyboards for all scenes, including all visual effects scenes,” added the Oscar winner. “I filmed action scenes. I had incredible filmmakers and artists helping me make these things happen.”
