Shortly before the US action film »Black Widow« was released, actress Scarlett Johansson distanced herself from earlier films with the main character Natasha Romanoff: »Iron Man 2 was really funny and we had a lot of fun,« said Johansson in an interview with the entertainment company Website »Collider«: »But the character is so sexualized.« In her first film, Natasha is still spoken of »like a piece of dirt« »that someone owns«.
"Black Widow" is a new action film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is based on the plot of "Avengers: Civil War". The main character, whose real name is Natasha Romanoff, appears for the first time in "Iron Man 2" in 2010 - back then as an agent in a latex suit. Tony, aka Iron Man, “treated her like a piece of meat,” Johansson said in an interview: “'I want some,' he said to her. Back then it still felt like a compliment. "
Since then, the figure has changed, says Scarlett Johansson: "A large part of this change probably comes from myself. I will be 35 years old, I am a mother and my life has changed." In the last ten years she has had "a completely new one Self-image «developed.
“I am more indulgent with myself than a woman.
I accept myself more, ”said Johansson.
"All of this has to do with the move away from the oversexualization of this character."
Today women get different messages, the self-image has changed, so Johansson.
“Had this film been made ten years ago, it would have been very different.
It was a different time. "
The film »Black Widow« should be released in 2020.
Due to the pandemic, the date in Germany was postponed to July 8th.
At the same time, it will start on the Disney + streaming service.
