During her appearance on the popular talk show, Today, Scarlett Johansson addressed the rumors surrounding her potential return as Black Widow in upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress displayed a certain level of uncertainty when discussing her involvement with her iconic character.
While joining the show to promote her skincare line, The Outset, on Monday, Johansson was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to discuss her upcoming film projects, all thanks to the conclusion of the actors’ strike. In a conversation with Al Roker, she candidly shared her thoughts and perspectives on the rumors that have been circulating.
By addressing these rumors, Johansson demonstrated her willingness to engage with the public and provide much-anticipated updates on her career. With her relaxed demeanor and charming presence, Johansson’s discussion of the Black Widow issue became an engaging and memorable moment for viewers tuning in to the show.
During an interview with Al Roker, Scarlett Johansson faced a burning question posed by countless fans: Will she reprise her role as Black Widow in a future MCU project? It was a query that couldn’t be ignored, considering her character’s heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. Naturally, Johansson pointed out that her character’s return would be quite a surprising twist. Yet, given the nature of comic book movies, it seems that nothing is ever completely off the table. In fact, Kevin Feige recently hinted at Johansson’s return.
Naturally, it is understandable that Scarlett Johansson is receiving inquiries about her involvement in the Black Widow role. Just a few days ago, Kevin Feige expressed positive remarks about both Johansson and Robert Downey, Jr. potentially reprising their roles in a future Avengers project, although he did not reveal any specific details.
If this agreement is indeed moving forward, Johansson initially appeared to either be unaware or hesitant to confirm her participation in the undisclosed project. Acknowledging the challenges of her character’s fate in the recent Avengers film, she playfully mentioned that it could be interesting to portray Black Widow as a vampire or a zombie.
The actress kept her answer about her involvement open-ended and did not provide a definitive response.
Scarlett Johansson, while playing it cool, implied that a revival of Black Widow would be nearly impossible. However, things got interesting when Roker pursued the topic of her potential return as the iconic Avengers character. Johansson responded with mixed feelings – feeling obligated to respond but also acknowledging her strong desire to do so.
In a completely different world, the finale of Loki has pushed the boundaries and expanded the realm of possibilities.
It appears that Scarlett Johansson may have some undisclosed information about the future of Black Widow, as she seemed eager to answer questions about it during her interview with Roker. This is intriguing considering that Kevin Feige confirmed the return of both Johansson and Robert Downey, Jr., in a rather casual manner. It is peculiar that Johansson would be coy about Black Widow’s future while discussing her other Disney projects.
In addition, Tom Hiddleston’s recent remarks on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon about his character’s multiple deaths and the potential for time travel add another layer of fascination to the possibilities for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It seems that the future holds much intrigue and excitement for fans.
Before Scarlett Johansson was approached for the role of Black Widow, she also talked about another Disney project, her upcoming film titled Tower of Terror. This movie is part of a series of films produced by Disney that are based on their popular theme park rides, such as Jungle Cruise, The Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has been an attraction at Disney World for many years, but it’s unclear if the movie will still be associated with the Twilight Zone brand, which Disney acquired the rights to from CBS for the ride.
It’s still a mystery when and how Johansson might make a comeback in future projects.
