In an interview with Alive: Sydney that focused mainly on her personal life and diet, Scarlett Johansson also answered a few more questions about starring in a Black Widow solo movie as well as The Avengers and commented once again on wearing the costume!

Are you ready for the Black Widow movie?

I would absolutely love to carry the legacy of this character forward. She has a really complex background; there’s a lot to explore there, and certainly she’s a part of The Avengers historically.

Did you feel comfortable in your costume?

The costume wasn’t bad. I mean it was sort of terrifying at first glance, it was absolutely terrifying. I mean, wow, it’s tight. But once you were in that mode it’s time to kick some ass. You put it on and you’re like oh, it looks good. You worked for it.

How did you feel in the costume?

Like, oh my God, I’m a bad ass!

Are you looking forward to doing The Avengers movie?

I am not officially part of Avengers, the character is in Avengers, but there’s no Avengers script, that I know of. They’re working on something, and Marvel is really behind Black Widow being a part of it. I’m looking forward to finding out what that means exactly. I’ve just finished a four month run on Broadway so I’m taking a little time right now to kind of plan the next move.

Iron Man 2 is out now in the UK and will be released in the US on May 7th.

Black Widow can appear in Avengers, but I don't want her to be actually on the "roster" like Cap, Thor, IM, Hawkeye are. Fury can keep her for covert special ops type stuff. Just my opinion. Cue the burst of rage and "BLACK WIDOW is NOT a [frick]ing AVENGER!!!" comments from Lee. That train's never late *looks at watch*

"BLACK WIDOW is NOT a [frick]ing AVENGER!!!"

: P


When have i ever said that @ TYLER lol???

: D

Dude i'm ANTI WAR MACHINE in AVENGERS!!!

Although BLACK WIDOW doesn't need to be in THE AVENGERS, if she is hopefully its just a cameo and we need HANK & JAN, they are a must!!

P.S. A solo BLACK WIDOW movie would be very cool, an a WAR MACHINE solo movie too for that matter!

Great stuff @ JOSH!

Well I certainly wouldn't want to see a Black Widdow movie. It'd be as interesting as Elektra

great find @Josh!

the only issue i can forsee for a potential Black Widow film would be the villain. she has an awesome story that i hope can be done justice but she isn't like other heroes who have this great rogue's gallery of villains. and i wouldn't wouldn't want her film to be like Hancock where there is no discernable villain.

i would want her film to be one of self discovery like Batman Begins. but the only villain i can think of for her is Yelena Belova: the other Black Widow.

what do y'all think?

@animeex & Anil: It wouldn't make ANY sense if she had an accent.

She's a Superspy - she speaks whatever languages she speaks FLAWLESSLY, without an accent - whether that be English, American, French, Italian or Russian. If she speaks French, she sounds French, even to a native. That's kinda the point...

If she had the slightest trace of Russian in her accent, don't you think that would give her away? She's had any trace of an accent trained away - so she speaks the same even when relaxed. Her speaking with a Russian accent would be corny, unrealistic and stupid.

Think boys, think!

keep war machine & the black widow out of the avengers.
do solo movies for black widow,we need a decent female charactor comicbook movie,after the shit that comes out like catwoman,elektra,witchblade,tank girl & barb wire(nice costume though.)
as for war machine do a crossover movie with iron man 3
either against a.i.m or hydra.
if not that the classic .... ARMOUR WARS STORYLINE.

Thanks guys! :)

I actually wouldnt mind seeing Black Widow (along with Hawkeye of course!) in The Avengers! If they were used in the same way that they were in The Ultimates it could make for some interesting scenes! Plus, with still no news on whether we'll see Ant-Man/Giant-Man and Wasp, we'll need all the members we can get to save it from just being a three man band of Cap, Thor and Iron Man!

Oh, and as for War Machine being in The Avengers? No [frick]ing way. :P Cheadle was awesome but his character just doesnt belong there IMO.

i'm a LONG time avengers fan. i mean, i even loved them in the late 80s & early 90s (what many consider the down years). and i think black widow is PERFECT for the Avengers movie.

War Machine would be cool, too, if they do it right, maybe with Stark having to call in a little more fire power!

Avengers MUST have:
Cap
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk

And could ALSO pull from:
Ant-Man
Wasp
Hawkeye
Black Widow
War Machine

Too bad they can't bring in Beast from the X-Men movies. Frazier did a very cool job!

I hope they keep her outta the Avengers. Either that or replace her with the actress who shoulda been Black Widow...Milla Jovovich! Nuff said.

She is Black Widow, she can kick a$$, and she's real hot.
I can't see any other actress in this role.

@Anil: Why would her accent slip when she's with Fury? If she's trained to speak fluently, without an accent - then it wouldn't make sense for her to fake a Russian accent when she's with Fury. She doesn't "cover" the accent up - she DOES NOT HAVE ONE. If she did have even the slightest trace of an accent, then all she'd have to do is talk in her sleep and she'd be dead. She's a superspy - the only language she'd ever speak with Russian accent is Russian.

What part of this don't you understand?

She wouldn't have a Russian accent! EVER! Not with her handler, not with her lovers, not with her mother, not in her sleep. She does not speak ANY languages with anything other than a 'native' accent. It could be no other way!

Really - I'm getting a headache from banging my head on my desk from the sheer exasperation of trying to get this across.

Spy + slightest trace of an accent = dead.

Spy + so fluent it's natural = slightly less chance of deadness.

And we're talking the Black Widow here. Best of the best. Top of the game. Nick Fury's secret weapon. Accent?! Pfft. Accents are for B-movie villains and amateurs.


@skullboy: Mila Jovovich? Nuff said? Are you tripping?
