Her recent movie %u2018Black Widow%u2019 is released in theatres and will soon debut on Disney plus Hotstar for the Indian audience.

As the first lead actor to serve as a producer on a Marvel film she wanted Black Widow%u2019s film to be unexpected. According to Firstpost, Scarlett said, %u201CI didn%u2019t want it to be an espionage film,%u201D Johansson said. %u201CI think we avoided that.%u201D

Eric Pearson, Marvel wrote the script and took advantage of the fact that the character seemed to changed and become more emotionally vulnerable between Civil War and Infinity War/Endgame, which is when the movie is mainly set.

%u201CWe%u2019re looking at what happened there,%u201D Pearson said. %u201CWhat happened when she went back and confronted her past that unlocked her heart and kind of opened her up to the world and eventually led her to make that all-time sacrifice at the end of Endgame%u201D as reported by Firstpost.

Scarlett and Florence didn%u2019t know each other but they quickly connected on set, partly due to natural chemistry between them. %u201COur Day One was me throwing her against a cabinet and we both had our hands in each other%u2019s armpits. And it was in that moment that I was like, %u2018Oh, my God, I have a sweaty armpit. And Scarlett Johansson is touching me,%u2019%u201D Pugh said. %u201COnce that ice is broken, you know, best mates. The weird first day, though, to start with.%u201D
