You could call Scarlett Johansson Marvel’s utility player having appeared in Iron Man 2, Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and soon in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
What about a solo film for Black Widow?
While there isn’t one on the massive schedule of Marvel Studios movies, the actress says she and President Kevin Feige have discussed it.
“I’ve spoken to Kevin about it. I mean, of course, of course we’ve had that conversation before, and I think Kevin would also like to see a standalone film. I think I can speak for him and say that. That’s all, really. Right now I think this character is used well in this part of the universe, but I think that Kevin—I mean, we’ve talked about it and we both share similar vision for what could be a standalone series.” Johansson told Collider.
The actress went on to reveal how her Marvel contract is evolving:
“My contract has changed. Marvel and myself didn’t really know how the fans were gonna react to Black Widow the first time and how she was gonna be—they couldn’t anticipate how they would want to use her or if they would want to use her. I mean we invested in that character, but the audience had a great reaction to the character, which has been so awesome. For instance, I wasn’t contracted into doing Cap movies, but that storyline worked out so well I kind of branched off and I found myself in that standalone movie. My contract is kind of mutating, I guess [laughs] or morphed to fit the demand of the character.”
It seems like Johansson is sticking around and fan power may impact her roles including a solo film.
Black Widow returns in Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1.
