Scarlett Johansson reveals why filming 'The Avengers' 'felt like a big mess'

Scarlett Johansson recently got candid and revealed what it felt like filming The Avengers.

While conversing with Vanity Fair, the 40-year-old American actress and singer talked about her career and reminisced about feeling uncool on the set of 2012’s The Avengers.

Johansson, who debuted as Black Widow in the marvel movie Iron Man two years ago, shared, “When we made the first ‘Avengers’ none of us knew what the potential would be.”

She added, “‘Iron Man’ was massively successful. It was huge. It built the studio of Marvel. ‘Iron Man 2’ was also successful. There was ‘Thor,’ but that character felt like it was from a completely different universe. It was such a different tone from the ‘Iron Man’ movies.”

“The ‘Captain America’ movie had its own identity as well. When you added the characters all together, plus Hulk and Hawkeye, it just felt like a big mess to be honest. Even on the set it felt crazy. We all looked insane. What are we doing? I don’t think anybody knew if it was going to work or not besides Kevin Feige and Joss Whedon. The cast had blind faith in them,” the Lucy star quipped.

Johansson confessed that she could not see how big the movie would be until they filmed the famous scene where the camera goes around the Avengers as they gear up to fight and that is when she saw the movie’s potential.

The Jurassic World Rebirth actress noted, “I remember the scene where we all are in that 360 of the characters together. That was the moment where we all thought this maybe could work. It felt powerful.”

“When we watched the playback, it looked really cool, but so much of it didn’t feel cool when we were shooting it. We were young. We were having such a great time. We became such great friends. It was a blast,” Johansson recalled.
