Scarlett Johansson has undeniably made a mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with her outstanding performance as Natasha Romanoff, popularly known as Black Widow. Her vivid portrayal of the character has contributed to her becoming an iconic and imperative figure in the movie franchise. Johansson impressed the audience by playing alongside co-stars like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the superhero films.
Scarlett Johansson is famous for not mincing her words when she feels disrespected. As an actress who played Black Widow, she has also spoken out about the overt s*xualization prevalent in Hollywood. During an interview on May 4th, 2012, she was asked inappropriate questions that compelled her to silence the interviewer. Recently, she encountered yet another inappropriate question.
Scarlett Johansson has had her fair share of uncomfortable moments during interviews. One instance that stands out is from 2012, when she was promoting The Avengers. During an interview, reporter Jerry Penacoli asked her if she was wearing underwear under her costume. Johansson was clearly not pleased with the question, as she had already been asked it multiple times that day. She responded by saying, “You’re the fifth person to ask me this today. I’ll leave it to your imagination. Whatever you think I should be wearing or not wearing underneath that suit”.
The reporter asked Scarlett Johansson about her character’s costume change, but ended up making a tasteless comment about the tightness of the outfit. Johansson interrupted and sarcastically replied that she will leave it up to the reporter’s imagination on what she should or should not wear under the costume. The incident left her feeling uncomfortable and demeaned.
During a promotional event for Avengers: Infinity War, she was asked to talk about how her character’s costume evolved throughout the movie. Her response was humorous and unsure as she exclaimed, “Do I get to discuss fashion? I don’t know how to answer that question!”
Throughout most of the movie, I’ll be clad in a leather jumpsuit, which has been my outfit of choice for the past decade. If you have any fashion-related suggestions or preferences, feel free to share them with us. I’m thrilled to have a new vest, and my recent hairstyle change has created some mixed reactions, but that’s all right. I made the decision, and I’ll stick to it.” During an appearance on Daz Shepord’s podcast, the actress also expressed her dissatisfaction with being viewed as an object and being pigeonholed into roles that didn’t offer much in the way of work opportunities.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scarlett Johansson played the role of Black Widow. While discussing the current state of Hollywood, she highlighted the importance of recognizing meaningful progress and change. Despite some challenges, Johansson remains optimistic and recognizes positive changes happening in the industry.
