Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson initially thought The Avengers would be "a disaster", revealing her original thoughts in a new🍃 interview. 

Johansson shared the thoughts sh🌄e had about the early days of the MCU and what it was liked to be pitched the idea for The Avengers after filming her debut in Iron Man 2.

, Johansson said: "Even the thought of all of us together in our superhero costumes sounded like it was going to be a disaster. Not a disaster, but, like, What is this? What is this?"  

But, she came around to it eventually – sharing the exact mom𒅌ent during the filming for the 2012 blockbuster that changed her m𝓰ind. 

"I remember d🅷oing that 360 shot, and we’re standing in the rubble of Grand Central or whatever, of this alien onslaught, and all of us are ready, like: Here we go, this is it. And then they showed us the playback, and I thinkไ that was the moment that all of us, finally, after six months of shooting, were, ‘Oh, this is going to work. I think this is going to work.'"

The first Avengers movie went on to gross over $1.5 billion at the global box office and set the stage for the next two phases of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios releases. Johansson went on to reprise her role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Now her character is finally getting her own solo movie after making the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ultimate sacrifice in Endgame. 

A sacrifice Johansson feels was the right call. In an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:interview with Total Film Johansson explained why she w🥀as at peace with Natasha’s ending: 

“She’s had an incredible 10-year journey, and I felt that she was finally able to make an active choice...She&rsꩵquo;s made peace with that, and, in some ways, ha🀅s known that’s her destiny all along, in a weird poetic way. When you look back on the films, that’s in there.”

Johansson will reprise her role as the expert level assassin in Black Widow – which recently got a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:July 9 release date – debuting in theaters and Disney Pಌlus with an add🐼itional cost for subscribers.
