Olivia Wilde struggling to keep quiet about spoilers for new Marvel project

Olivia Wilde is struggling with Marvel's spoiler policy.

It was reported last month that the 36-year-old director and actress had been tapped to helm a project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Olivia explained that she is struggling to keep tight-lipped about the project - risking the wrath of Marvel chief Kevin Feige.

Speaking on the 'Shut Up Evan' podcast, Olivia said: "All I can say that this is by far the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me. Because not only do I feel like I get to tell a story that, God, it's like, listen to me trying to avoid Kevin Feige's pellet gun."

Wilde signed a deal with Sony Pictures to work on an untitled movie based on a female Marvel character, which led to fans speculating that she is helming a 'Spider-Woman' film.
