Marvel is yet to make an official announcement on Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow movie, but Johansson talks about her solo movie.
In an interview with Variety, Scarlett Johansson was asked about her thoughts on Black Widow movie and she replied:
“I would like for it to happen under the right circumstances. I think there’s a lot of opportunity to mine that story line.
She’s got a really rich origins story. There’s a lot of places you can go — you can bring it back to Russia.
You could explore the Widow program. There’s all kinds of stuff that you could do with it.
You could really uncover the identity of who this person is, where she comes from and where she’s part of.”
Johansson thinks if we get a Black Widow movie it would be a prequel, but there are other possibilities as well: “There’s plenty of back story. Or not. It could be something else.
Where do the Avengers go? They are underground. What happens then? What happens after it all falls apart? There are so many ways you can go.
I think it would just have to be very much like its own specific thing. It would have to have its own specific vibe.
It would have been totally different than any of the other standalone films. I think if the fans wanted it enough, then it would probably become a reality.”
“I talked to them [Marvel] about it often. It would have to fit in the idea of where they want to go.
I’m invested in that character. Marvel is greatly invested in that character. If I did it, I’d have to do it while I still actually wanted to wear a skin-tight catsuit.
I don’t know how much longer that’s going to be,” Johansson concluded.
Scarlett Johansson portrayed as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow in five Cinematic Universe franchise films: Iron Man 2 (2010), Marvel’s The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Captain America: Civil War (2016).
We will see Johansson next in Ghost in the Shell and she will return for Avengers: Infinity War, which starts filming later this year.
