Amid promotion for Avengers: Age of Ultron, which opens internationally today, Scarlett Johansson talked a bit about her return as Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow, inthe much-anticipated Captain America: Civil War. IGN asked the actress if she'd like to see Widow's past explored more, or would she rather the character move forward and become sort of a mentor to the new Avengers.

"I think that the Widow's past will always haunt her," she replied. "She's trying to move forward, she's trying to pick up the pieces of her life. I think we'll see parts of that in Cap 3 when we find her. And certainly she has a greater purpose, and I think that greater is charged by this need [for her] to escape her past. So, it's always kind of right there, kind of looming over her shoulders."

In a separate interview with Reuters at yesterday's European premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Scarlett Johansson had teased a darker tone in Captain America: Civil War. "I can't elaborate too much on it," she said. "But as the scope of these movies is larger and larger and the danger kind of looms larger and larger, I don't want to say that the film has a darker tone, but the film has a darker tone and I think it's maturing along with the fans." Meanwhile, Digital Spy recently asked Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner about their respective return as Captain America and Hawkeye in Civil War. Watch that interview below as well as Scarlett Johansson's. What do you think?







Directed by Joe & Anthony Russo, Captain America: Civil War stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chadwick Boseman, Frank Grillo, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie & Daniel Brühl, with appearances by Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Samuel L. Jackson expected. The film opens May 6, 2016
