Scarlett Johansson “Black Widow” Interview For Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’
Apr 24th
Iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow answer the call to action when Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., initiates a daring, globe-spanning recruitment effort to assemble The Avengers team to defeat an unexpected enemy threatening global safety and security. Despite pulling together the ultimate dream team, Nick Fury and longtime confidant Agent Coulson must find a way to convince the Super Heroes to work with, not against each other, when the powerful and dangerous Loki gains access to the Cosmic Cube and its unlimited power.
Directed by Joss Whedon, and starring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders and Samuel L. Jackson, Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’ is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Look out for ‘The Avengers’ (‘Avengers Assemble’ in the UK) in cinemas April 26th in the UK and May 4th in the US.
What was it like revisiting Black Widow in ‘The Avengers’? In ‘Iron Man 2′ there’s a lot of mystery surrounding her, in this she’s very much front and center along with the rest of the team.
Scarlett Johansson: I think the first time that we saw this character in ‘Iron Man 2,’ we didn’t really know much about her. We never really learned much about Black Widow. She’s really quite….she’s a slippery fish in ‘Iron Man 2.’ We get little glimpses of her true identity, but it all happens so quickly. To be able to play Black Widow as she is, without these many faces….I mean, she still has many different faces she puts on in ’The Avengers,’ she’s divisive in that way, but we get to see a little bit more of who she is. We get to see a little bit of her history, her kind of shady past. Black Widow, she’s a highly ambitious, highly trained, highly motivated character. She really tries to keep her eyes on the prize. It was definitely an exciting process.

Do you remember when you were first told that Loki would be expanded in ‘The Avengers’?
Tom Hiddleston: Yeah. It was towards the end of the production of ‘Thor.’ I remember Joss Whedon was coming into Marvel Studios a lot because he was writing ‘The Avengers’ screenplay, and he asked me to go out for tea. We were sitting in a coffee shop in Santa Monica and he said, “So, here’s the thing, Tom. There’s a lot of talk about multiple villains in the film and I don’t want any of that. I want Loki to be the bad guy.” After I picked my jaw off the floor (laughs), I did back flips in the tea room and then we just talked for hours about who Loki was and what his motivations were and the kind of spiritual damage that was at the heart of the character as well as the delight he takes in being a mischievous trickster and an agent of chaos.

Samuel L. Jackson Interview For Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in ‘Iron Man,‘ ‘The Incredible Hulk,‘ ‘Iron Man 2,’ ‘Thor,’ and ‘Captain America: The First Avenger,’ Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’ is the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Nick Fury is front and centre in ’The Avengers.’ How was that for you compared to the many cameo roles the character has had in the other Marvel franchises leading up to this film?
Samuel L. Jackson: It’s great to be the guy who is the organiser of The Avengers team. He’s the guy who has the raison-d’être that kind of understands the threat and has to get them to understand the nature of the threat – that we’re a lot stronger together than they are individually. Using Agent Coulson in a manipulative way to get them to do what he needs them to do is not above Nick’s character (laughs). He does kind of fudge the truth a bit to get them to take the bait and join in, and eventually they all do. Nick Fury monitors a lot of things and when he sees a need he generally goes against the grain, I think he rubs a lot of people the wrong way by taking actions in situations that they don’t necessarily want him to take action in but he does anyway.
