Scarlett Johansson Talks CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR's "Psychological Twists"
Avengers: Age of Ultron star Scarlett Johansson talks here about her reaction to reading the Captain America: Civil War screenplay, and weighs in on how it differs to previous Marvel movies. The actress is also quizzed on whose side Black Widow chooses in the movie, and much more...
Collider recently caught up with Scarlett Johansson during the Avengers: Age of Ultron press tour and asked the actress about her role as Black Widow in Captain America: Civil War. While she wouldn't reveal whether or not her character's friendship with Steve Rogers means that she will autmatically side with him, she did have this to say about reading the threequel's script. "I have read the script for Civil War. You know, the film has a very different feeling than anything of Marvel’s that I’ve read or been a part of before. These films are—I don’t think darker is the right word because there’s definitely always going to be some kind of levity, and that comes in a form of humor or hope. When you compare these films to like Batman, it’s a different feeling obviously, it’s a different audience experience, but as the stakes loom like larger and larger I think these films are kind of maturing with the audience; so there’s even more complex psychological twists that I sort of hadn’t necessarily anticipated." What kind of twists?
Well, that remains to be seen, especially as we don't know just how close to the Civil War comic book this adaptation will be. What a read that must have been though, especially if the latest draft included Spider-Man's scenes! As for how she feels to reunite with the Captain America: The Winter Solider filmmakers, Johansson added: "I’m excited to work with the Russos again. They have a very different approach to this universe than Joss, just different. It will be interesting to see how they treat all of these new characters. When we were doing Cap 2, the film felt very much like we were doing a kind of ‘70s style car-chase political-thriller, it had that kind of flavor. But they were also dealing with far less characters, the stakes were just different. Now with Civil War it’s gonna be interesting to see how they set up this next phase, I think Cap 3 is definitely sort of like a pre-Avengers 3 and 4. It feels like that, whereas Cap 2 didn’t feel like it was necessarily part of The Avengers. I mean, it feels like a piece that fits in, but it didn’t feel like it was leading you into Avengers 2." What do you guys think about these latest Captain America: Civil War details?
