Scarlett Johansson Says We'll Learn More About Black Widow's Sad Past in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Scarlett Johansson sports a disheveled head of hair while stopping by the bank real quick on Saturday afternoon (February 14) in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old actress recently opened up about playing Black Widow in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

“People were surprised that I wanted to play a comic book heroine,” Scarlett told W Magazine. “But I loved Iron Man, and I met with Marvel to see what was possible. I had done my research, and the Black Widow character resonated with me. She is dark and has faced death so many times that she has a deep perspective on the value of life. In the sequel, you learn more about the sadness in her past.”

Scarlett continued, “Black Widow is a superhero, but she’s also human. She’s small, but she’s strong. It’s hard not to admire her. She packs a big punch. We all try to fight the forces of evil. Like Black Widow, you have to keep trying. The challenge is always there.”
