Scarlett Johansson on Black Widow's Darker Tone In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
Scarlett Johansson will be back and kicking ass as Black Widow in Captain America: Civil War. I haven't seen Avengers: Age of Ultron yet, but I imagine they open things up a little more about her past. In an interview with IGN, she is asked if would she would want to see her shady past explored more in upcoming films like Civil War, or if she would like to see the character move forward. This was her response:
"I think that the Widow's past will always haunt her. She's trying to move forward, she's trying to pick up the pieces of her life. I think we'll see parts of that in Cap 3 when we find her. And certainly she has a greater purpose, and I think that greater purpose is charged by this need [for her] to escape her past. So, it's always kind of right there, kind of looming over her shoulders."
In a separate interview with Reuters, Johansson teased the darker tone of Civil War, saying:
"I can't elaborate too much on it. But as the scope of these movies is larger and larger and the danger kind of looms larger and larger, I don't want to say that the film has a darker tone, but the film has a darker tone and I think it's maturing along with the fans."
I can't even imagine how crazy things are going to get into the Marvel cinematic universe as the characters evolve through Phase 3. Civil War is sure to spin things completely out of control though, and it will change things in the MCU forever.
That film is set to open on May 6th, 2016.
