“Scarlett is making a point of not being the token woman in the movie,” reports a source on the set.


“She has had extra action scenes already but is still wanting more. She’s also been very reluctant to have her character be a love interest for the male heroes. Scarlett wants Black Widow to be on a level with the guys if not even more super!”


Do I want more Scarlett scenes then what we saw in Iron Man 2? Yes, but only like two more scenes. I don't want her taking away from the superheroes who actually have superpowers. Call me crazy but when I got and see a superhero film I like my characters to have special abilities and to use them.

I'm not too keen on Scarlett's reluctance to be a love interest to one of the members. I certainly don't want a love story per se, but I don't want a lack of sexuality in the film. I'd like to see her flirt with multiple members, or at least one. If she is just gonna be robotic like she was in Iron Man 2 I will be disappointed.






Marvel's The Avengers picks up when an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security. And Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. With director Joss Whedon at it's helm, and an ensemble cast including Chris Evans (Steve Rogers), Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark), Chris Hemsworth (Thor Odinson), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff), Clark Gregg (Agt. Phil Coulson), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), with Tom Hiddleston (Loki), and Stellan Skarsgard (Professor Erik Selvig), the film releases worldwide May 4, 2012!

She's in a movie with Thor and Iron Man, what can she expect? Even Cap is leaps and bounds ahead of her. She has no powers or super-steroids, just skills. Be happy you're even in the movie.

I think Showbiz Spy is pretty unreliable. They claimed that Statham would be in Transformers 4, and that doesnt look likely. Same with Bradley Cooper as Daredevil.

What PaulRom said. Still, good for her if true.

She clearly hasn't done her research on Black Widow.Iron Man, Hawkeye, Daredevil, Bucky and Hercules.She's known for seducing men.

That's a part of the character.

She needs to have as much of a presence in this movie as her character did in the comics, and saying I couldn't care less about her character in the comics, I certainly don't have a problem with her character getting less attention in the movie than say, the actual super heroes. Her character is like Agent Coulson with boobs, which oddly I might find more attention-grabbing than just a chick who hangs out with Superheroes.

I could see her point, but not by much. We got THOR, HULK, IRON MAN, and CAP who will take up much of the film as is. Maybe give her a solid sub-plot with HAWKEYE in the film, and make the Avengers film almost 3-Hours long (ala Lord of the Rings.) It could work. :)

She should try to kiss Captain America by Statue of Liberty.

"Keptin, there´s no man in this time, tovarisch darling, kish me, da"
Then he pushes her away "No, i still love Peggy Carter".
"I´ll be herre when you make up your mind".

give her the triple agent subplot from the animated Avengers series, that was actually a kickass, strong storyline.

Well seeing as shes only a SHIELD agent and not really an actual Avenger she should get as much action time as Hawkeye. This isnt their show. They shouldnt be more than Furys eyes and ears that can still defend themselves. Atleast in this movie.

I would be happy if they would just replace her with a woman who can actually act.

I would rather see wasp, ms. marvel or scarlet witch because these are just loke the main characters: they have superpowers. What does BW have? well, her beauty and skills but nothing else, right?

But it would be unfair if there are only men as main characters, so...

Being a love interest is who Black Widow is in the source material. I don't have any issue with her being involved in plenty of action scenes. They worked her in fairly well in regard to that in the comics and I liked her role in Earth's Mightiest.

isnt BW actually enhanced physically or is that just the ultimates version im thinking of?

I'd like to see her have more screen time if It makes relevant to the movie. She can have her own movie someday but this is THE AVENGERS, not THE BLACK WIDOW AND SOME OTHER GUYS.
