Scarlett Johansson rules out a return as Black Widow to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Like all Marvel fans As you already know, the character of Black Widow had a heroic and sacrificial end in Avengers: Endgame. The character, played by Scarlett Johansson from the sequel to Hombre de Hierro in 2010. However, his final farewell took place in a solo feature film that is remembered above all, due to the controversy surrounding the simultaneous premiere of the film set after the events of civil war. However, dying does not have to be the end above all, considering that the MCU is directing its entire new stage towards the multiverse.

In addition, although his role is now going to be occupied by Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), their family connection gives way to future flashbacks that develop the charismatic new Black Widow. But of course, Johansson has the last word and apparently she has recently confirmed in an interview for Variety that he will not carry out any more projects for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, something that is highly bittersweet for him: “I am sad, of course. I absolutely loved every filming experience I’ve had, working 10 years with Marvel and with that incredible cast and I love the character of Natasha.” Despite those feelings toward the heroine, the two-time Oscar nominee feels great about the ending of her story, noting that she “has a lot of dignity in her legacy.”

Not everything has been smooth sailing in Johansson’s relationship with the mouse house. After the simultaneous premiere caused by the pandemic, the actress took legal action against the studio, arguing that that decision had a negative impact on the box office and therefore on her own pocket, since she was hired by her (with most of the superstars of holywood) was tied to global billboard profits. A situation that he explained in the interview, recalling how he received support from strangers who had nothing to do with the industry: “I couldn’t even walk through a restaurant without someone saying ‘Good for you. Defend yourself'”.

In the future, Scarlett Johansson will once again share the cast with Chris Hemsworth, when put your voice to Elita, one of the characters in the animated film that Universal Pictures prepares from the Transformers franchise. Besides, he will return to the cinema indie from the hand of Wes Anderson thanks to Asteroid City.
