And her answers were a little surprising.<\/p>\n<p>Johansson was long thought of as being a comic book fan before appearing in <strong>Iron Man 2<\/strong>, but it appears that was not the case:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The superhero genre was never a favorite, not that I didn\u2019t like it. I liked all the Tim Burton \u201cBatman\u201d movies, but I wasn\u2019t a big comic book fan growing up. I loved \u201cIron Man.\u201d It spoke to me. I thought Robert [Downey Jr.]\u2019s work was groundbreaking. It captured my attention as a person that isn\u2019t normally a fan of that genre. It felt like we were making a big movie in a small way, or a small movie in a big way. It was an interesting challenge to be part of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not that&#8217;s she&#8217;s not thankful for the opportunity:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think for such a long time, I felt kind of pigeonholed as this ing\u00e9nue \u2014\u00a0this kind of girl who is floating between two worlds. Maybe that was just a literal reflection of my life at that time. I\u2019m a very curious person. I\u2019m a really curious actor. The Marvel universe has opened up so many opportunities for me to stretch myself in ways that I never thought would be possible.<\/p>\n<p>I think perhaps people at some point in the industry would have had a certain idea of my physical capability\u00a0\u2014\u00a0sort of like a trap. And there was this label put on me as this bombshell. I think while it\u2019s been flattering to be someone who is sexy, there\u2019s something very confining about that. It implies that you\u2019re strength comes from your sexuality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Does she want a <strong>Black Widow <\/strong>solo film?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I would like for it to happen under the right circumstances. I think there\u2019s a lot of opportunity to mine that story line. She\u2019s got a really rich origins story. There\u2019s a lot of places you can go\u00a0\u2014\u00a0you can bring it back to Russia. You could explore the Widow program. There\u2019s all kinds of stuff that you could do with it. You could really uncover the identity of who this person is, where she comes from and where she\u2019s part of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But not that the film will be an origins story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s a possibility. There\u2019s plenty of back story. Or not. It could be something else. Where do the Avengers go? They are underground. What happens then? What happens after it all falls apart? There are so many ways you can go. I think it would just have to be very much like its own specific thing. It would have to have its own specific vibe. It would have been totally different than any of the other standalone films. I think if the fans wanted it enough, then it would probably become a reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But, for the answer we all are after, has she been in discussion with Marvel about a <strong>Black Widow <\/strong>film?:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I talked to them about it often. It would have to fit in the idea of where they want to go. I\u2019m invested in that character. Marvel is greatly invested in that character. If I did it, I\u2019d have to do it while. I still actually wanted to wear a skin-tight catsuit. I don\u2019t know how much longer that\u2019s going to be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, there you go, Marvel. Get off your backside and get the movie rolling before Scarlett Johansson ages out of the catsuit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Is Scarlett Johansson pressing for a BLACK WIDOW standalone movies?
