Johansson delighted in exploring this evolution and aspect of Natasha with each director she works with sharing how the experience has been with director Cate Shortland has been “liberating” because Shortland has no issue diving into “the ugliness or what’s perceived to be ugliness-the embarrassing or uncomfortable.” “Her power, her strength was actually her vulnerability,” stated Johansson, which resulted in Natasha’s altruistic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame in the name of love for her friend Clint Barton, and also the world. However, “that compassion is what drives a lot of decision making that part really touches me,” shared Johansson. “Natasha has a lot of compassion,” exclaimed Johansson before noting that that would not have been a trait she necessarily would have called out in her character during Iron Man 2 or Marvel’s The Avengers. In the new film, also starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Rachel Weisz, Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises, forcing her to deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left behind.ĭirected by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, Black Widow-the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe- launches in Indian theatres on July 9, 2021, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.Johansson highlighted what she sees as two of Natasha Romanoff’s strengths - compassion and vulnerability.

Referring to a scene when Black Widow knocks out Tony Stark/Iron Man's right-hand man Happy Hogan (played in the movie by director Jon Favreau) in the boxing ring with an impressed tycoon later telling Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), "I want one", Scarlett shared that maybe that felt like a compliment but not so much now. The actor said her character is talked about in Iron Man 2 like "she's a piece of something, like a possession or a thing or whatever - like a piece of a**, really." All of that is related to that move away from the kind of hyper-sexualization of this character and, I mean, you look back at Iron Man 2 and while it was really fun and had a lot of great moments in it, the character is so sexualized, you know?" She shared how she started to feel her character was hyper-sexualized, saying, "As a woman, I’m in a different place in my life, you know?

However, Scarlett admits that her role was oversexualized in the beginning and that she wasn't too happy about that.
