Scarlett Johansson makes shock admission about 'Black Widow'

Scarlett Johansson recently reflected on her role as the Black Widow in the Marvel movies.

Speaking in a new interview with David Harbour for Interview Magazine, Scarlett Johansson reflected on her time starring in Marvel as the Black Widow.

“Some of the films that I did for Marvel engaged my character more than others. Like in [Captain America: The] Winter Soldier with Chris [Evans], we were really dynamic,” she began.

Nonetheless, Scarlett shared that sometimes playing that character felt like “a device to move it along.”

“In some of the other films, the cast was so enormous and there was so much plot to serve that you start to feel like you’re a device to move it along,” she addressed.

For those unversed, the actress has played the superhero role in a number of movies such as Iron Man 2 (2010), The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Black Widow (2021).

“And if you’re committed to five and a half months of that, it’s like, ‘Okay. I can’t paint my nails, I can’t get a haircut,’” Scarlet pointed out.

She went on to explain, “These sound like silly problems, but your identity is wrapped up in this job for a long time,” and concluded, “and if you’re not doing engaging work as an actor, you feel a little cagey sometimes.”
