Scarlett Johansson reacts to Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and other women joining MCU

Scarlett Johansson says she "battled it out" to make a "Black Widow" movie for Marvel Studios. Her character was killed off in the superhero juggernaut "Avengers: Endgame" earlier this year, seemingly permanently. And Johansson said in an interview at Comic-Con on Saturday that she had made peace with that fate - before negotiating to make a solo film with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Scarlett Johansson says she 'battled it out' to make 'Black Widow' for Marvel

<p>Scarlett Johansson had stepped out of 'Rub and Tug' a year back after she received severe backlash for being cast as a transgender man. The chapter has resurfaced once again, as the actress made headlines for a new interview in which she spoke about politically correct casting and stated that she should "be allowed to play any person."<br />
<br />
The 34-year-old actor has now clarified her comments made in the interview in a statement to Entertainment Weekly on Sunday, via her representative, stating "An interview that was recently published has been edited for clickbait and is widely taken out of context."<br />
<br />
"The question I was answering in my conversation with the contemporary artist, David Salle, was about the confrontation between political correctness and art," Johansson said of her interview with As If Magazine that was published earlier this month.</p>

<p>"I personally feel that, in an ideal world, any actor should be able to play anybody and art, in all forms, should be immune to political correctness. That is the point I was making, albeit didn`t come across that way," she added.<br />
<br />
"I recognize that in reality, there is a wide-spread discrepancy amongst my industry that favours Caucasian, cisgendered actors and that not every actor has been given the same opportunities that I have been privileged to. I continue to support, and always have, diversity in every industry and will continue to fight for projects where everyone is included," she continued.</p>

<p>Johansson`s clarification came after she received flak following some reports on comments she made about political correctness in art in an interview with artist David Salle for AS IF magazine, published last week.<br />
<br />
One of the quotes, read, "You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person, or any tree, or any animal because that is my job and the requirements of my job. I feel like it`s a trend in my business and it needs to happen for various social reasons, yet there are times it does get uncomfortable when it affects the art because I feel art should be free of restrictions."<br />
<br />
A year ago, the `Avengers` actor pulled out of the movie `Rub and Tug`, in which she was set to play a transgender character, following criticism from some members of the LGBT community and allies who believe a transgender actor should get the role."In light of recent ethical questions raised surrounding my casting as Dante `Tex` Gill, I have decided to respectfully withdraw my participation in the project," Johansson said in a statement to Out Magazine at that time as cited by US Weekly.<br />
<br />
`Rub and Tug` is set to be directed by Rupert Sanders, who also helmed `Ghost in the Shell`, which came under fire for whitewashing the protagonist, played by Johansson in a black wig. In the manga on which the movie was based, the main character was Japanese.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From the looks of it, the photo seems to have been taken while the team was still shooting for 'Avengers: Endgame'. The lunch had Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Pots), Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Dana Gurira(Okoye), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis) and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlett Witch)in attendance. From the photos, it looks like the happy bunch had a great time lunching with Tony Stark but one can't help but wonder where is Scarlett Johansson who plays Black Widow in the film- one of the original six Avengers. The photo could have been taken while filming the climax scene- which did not feature Johansson as her character Black Widow had already died by then in the film.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karen Gillan had earlier mentioned to an entertainment website that how Downey Jr was known to organize lunches for cast members while filming 'Avengers' series. &nbsp;“When you are shooting a film like this, there is a lot of time between setups because they do the huge laying of the set and the props. Everyone has a lot of time to hang out and get to know each other. Robert is the one who hosts the lunch for everyone, that’s really nice. We all get to interact with each other a lot.”</p>

<p>Fans may recall that during the big battle scene, Marvel celebrated its girl power by choreographing an action sequence involving all its women together who help Captain Marvel to take the infinity stones to Ant-Man in the middle of the battleground. &nbsp;The scene was greeted with applause and cheers in almost every cinema hall.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The scene also gave rise to a theory- which so far remains only a theory- that it may give cinematic rise to the A-Force.&nbsp;The A-Force was introduced as part of Marvel Comics' 'Secret Wars' crossover event in 2015 where multiple parallel Marvel universes collapsed into each other and were destroyed, and from the ashes, Doctor Doom created Battleworld, where most of the heroes from both universes battle with each other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Battleworld was divided into 41 “domains,” one of which was called Arcadia which was led by all-female defenders commonly known as A-Force. Some of the members of A-Force are characters who have already appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Whether Marvel enchashes on this powerful scene and subsequently create movies around the 'A-Force' is something we will have to wait and watch.&nbsp;</p>


Now that 'Avengers: Endgame' has released, Marvel's future lies in the hands of women. So it was fitting to have Iron Man aka Robert Downey Jr, the man who heralded a new era for MCU 10 years back, host a lunch for the women of Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Robert Downey Jr hosts a special lunch for the women of Marvel but where is Scarlett Johansson?

Six of the original leads of the "Avengers" film franchise -- Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner -- were honoured with a handprint ceremony in the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theater in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles Tuesday.

Six original 'Avengers' actors honored with handprint ceremony in Hollywood

It was almost like the Oscars as a slew of Hollywood A-listers took to the purple carpet at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Monday. However, this wasn't an awards show but instead the world premiere of 'Avengers: Endgame', the finale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Natalie Portman, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Brie Larson and Gwyneth Paltrow were just a few of the Hollywood actors who have appeared in the 22 prior films and will likely appear in the final instalment.

<p>Ahead of the release of the hugely anticipated film 'Avengers: Infinity War', some of the actors from the film-who play superheroes on screen- gathered on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to sing a parody of 'The Brady Bunch'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actors - also talented singers in this case- spoofed the classic opening song of the American Sitcom 'The Brady Bunch' and called it 'The Marvel Bunch'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The song opens with Robert Downey Jr who 'Here’s the story of a playboy genius who was gearing up to form some sort of crew.'<br />
<br />
He was then joined by Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Chris Hemsworth (Captain America).<br />
<br />
Soon, Chris Pratt joins in as he sings,"Here's the story of a handsome StarLord like the greatest to walk the earth, by far."<br />
<br />
Pratt is then joined by Anthony Mackie(Falcon), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), and lastly Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther). Everyone then come together to sing: 'So then one day all the heroes were assembled, to fight a villain who packed much more than a punch. And this group was labeled the Avengers, that’s the way we all became the Marvel Bunch.'<br />
<br />
At the end of the song, Tom Hiddleston(Loki) comes in and joins the chorus before looking in Hemsworth's direction and saying 'Ah hello brother' only to be told 'shut up!' by his onscreen brother.&nbsp;</p>

The song gets to you in no time, as you sing along with the 'Marvel&nbsp;Bunch'. The film releases worldwide on Friday and is expected to break Box Office records.&nbsp;</p>

The song opens with Robert Downey Jr who 'Here’s the story of a playboy genius who was gearing up to form some sort of crew.' He was then joined by Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Chris Hemsworth (Captain America). Soon, Chris Pratt joins in as he sings,"Here's the story of a handsome StarLord like the greatest to walk the earth, by far." Pratt is then joined by Anthony Mackie(Falcon), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), and lastly Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther). Everyone then come together to sing: 'So then one day all the heroes were assembled, to fight a villain who packed much more than a punch. And this group was labeled the Avengers, that’s the way we all became the Marvel Bunch.' At the end of the song, Tom Hiddleston(Loki) comes in and joins the chorus before looking in Hemsworth's direction and saying 'Ah hello brother' only to be told 'shut up!' by his onscreen brother. The song gets to you in no time, as you sing along with the 'Marvel Bunch'. The film releases worldwide on Friday and is expected to break Box Office records.
