Avengers: Scarlett Johansson Opens Up About ‘Silly Problems’ Filming MCU Movies
Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson has revealed what it was like to shoot Avengers movies with a large ensemble cast. For over a decade, Johansson portrayed the role of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
What did Scarlett Johansson say about filming Avengers movies?
During a recent interview with Black Widow co-star David Harbour, Johansson opened up about the challenges of filming with a big cast. She admitted that she felt like her character was just a plot device in the production of Avengers movies, revealing that filming for over five months can really take a personal toll on some actors.
“When you have those big time commitments, sometimes it’s harder to find the special moments day to day,” Johansson shared. “Some of the films that I did for Marvel engaged my character more than others. Like in [Captain America: The] Winter Soldier with Chris [Evans], we were really dynamic. In some of the other films, the cast was so enormous and there was so much plot to serve that you start to feel like you’re a device to move it along. And if you’re committed to five and a half months of that, it’s like, ‘Okay. I can’t paint my nails, I can’t get a haircut.’ These sound like silly problems, but your identity is wrapped up in this job for a long time, and if you’re not doing engaging work as an actor, you feel a little cagey sometimes.”
