The storyline of the film is being kept under wraps, but Thomas co-wrote the script with John Micklethwait.

Thomas, who has directed episodes of ‘Fleabag’ and ‘Slow Horses,’ was said to be making her feature directorial debut with ‘The Sea Change,’ based on Elizabeth Jane Howard’s novel of the same name, back in 2017.

This is not that project, and it never became one.

The film is currently under development.

Earlier, Marvel filmmakers and brothers Joe and Anthony Russo have backed Scarlett Johansson in her “payment conflict” with Disney.

The Russo brothers expressed their displeasure with Disney’s treatment of Johansson in an interview with ET Canada.

“That was clearly not the proper approach for them to handle the problem. “It was upsetting to us as artists,” Joe said.

Previously, Disney assured the Avengers star that her film Black Widow will be released in theatres, which would “eventually comprise her remuneration for the film.”

However, the company broke their agreement and released the film in both theatres and on OTT platforms on the same day, affecting ticket sales and, eventually, the Lucy star’s compensation.

As a result, the Don Jon actress brought the situation to court and sued the studio with abuse; nevertheless, the conflict was subsequently handled out of court.
