“I’m done,” Scarlett Johansson expressed her opinion on playing Black Widow for over a decade
Scarlett Johansson showed that she was ready to move on from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, who played the role of Black Widow in the “Avengers” franchise, reportedly parted ways with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
On April 22nd, People magazine reported that Scarlett Johansson appeared on Gwyneth Paltrow’s podcast, who played Tony Stark’s secretary, Pepper Potts. Johansson said, “I’m done.” The actress continued, “Chapter is over. I did all that I had to do,” adding, “Also coming back and playing a character again and again like that, over a decade of time, is such a unique experience.”
Johansson played Black Widow, Marvel’s first heroine in the 2010 movie “Iron Man 2.” She appeared in a total of eight Marvel movies and sacrificed herself in the 2019 “Avengers: Endgame”.
Since then, Johansson appeared in the 2021 movie “Black Widow,” which dives into Black Widow’s past history. That was also her last project with Marvel.
Moreover, the podcast also addressed the feud between Johansson and Paltrow, “You (Paltrow) were so nice to me on that movie. I was so petrified. You were so nice to me! You could’ve been awful. I was so out of my comfort zone on that movie. I’d never done anything like that before. Plus, you had established such deep friendships.” Paltrow also showed her gratitude for having “another woman around” in the filming for “Iron Man 2.”
Gwyneth Paltrow also talked about the possibility of Pepper Potts returning to the franchise. When Johansson said, “I think you may come back at some point”, she replied, “Really? A 64-year-old Pepper Potts? How great.”
