It sure looks like a superhero version of Beauty and the Beast is a storyline in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
In Marvel’s The Avengers Black Widow was tasked with bringing in “the big guy.” Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo has instant chemistry and from the trailer we’ll see more in the sequel.
Joss Whedon will reveal more of Black Widow’s past in the Red Room program that turned her into a killer but will she find comfort in Bruce Banner?
Ruffalo was asked how soon he knew of the possible romance between Banner and Romanoff:
“…It was something that I sort of brought up when we were shooting the first one. Scarlett [Johansson] doesn’t really know this, but I’m like, “Joss, I see something going on between Banner and Black Widow. When she comes to get him and this playfulness, and the way she tricks him again later.” I was like, “I think there’s something there.” And he was like, “Hmm, that’s interesting…” And then we split off and went our own ways, but I remained friends with him so I was always dropping in — I love the guy,” he told Comic Book Resources.
“I was shooting “Foxcatcher,” and I was feeling particularly melancholy. I was like, “I’m going to call Joss and see what he’s doing and see how the script’s coming.” So I wrote him an e-mail and he wrote me back and he’s like, “Bro, I just wrote what I think’s one of my favorite scenes ever.” “What?” “Banner and Black Widow’s getting together.” I was just like, “That sounds great!” I didn’t know if it was going to stay in it — these things come and go — so I didn’t really get too attached to it, but I thought, that is so interesting. And where you can go with that could be so bittersweet, unrequited, and has all kinds of cool possibilities.”
For more with Ruffalo here’s the CBR link and we’ll see him and Johansson together again this Friday in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
