Scarlett Johansson Says Training For ‘Black Widow’ Was Way Harder Than Previous Marvel Films — ‘Everything Is More Painful’

Since being cast in the 2010 blockbuster Iron Man 2, Scarlett Johansson has played the Marvel superhero Black Widow for over 10 years. This role established her as one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, but all of that success didn’t come easy. In order for Johansson to get in shape for the role, she has to go through an extremely rigorous training program. And while it might’ve been easier for her to do some of the workouts when she first started over a decade ago, she recently admitted that training for the upcoming film Black Widow was much more difficult.

‘Black Widow’: Scarlett Johansson Says ‘Iron Man 2’ ‘Hypersexualized’ Natasha Romanoff

Over the years, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character has evolved in many ways. A few of the most notable differences are how she’s presented to the audience, as well as the way her on-screen peers speak about her. Back in 2010 when she starred in Iron Man 2, it appeared that the primary focus with Black Widow was her sexuality, which Johansson was not fond of. Johansson recently criticized the representation of her character in the film, noting that Black Widow was “hypersexualized” throughout the entire movie.

‘The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard’: Ryan Reynolds Says Samuel Jackson ‘Was Eased Out of the Womb’ Saying ‘Motherf*cker’

The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard has been distinguished by the large number of expletives it contains. Samuel Jackson is well known for using profanity in many of his films, but even he ends up using far more swear words than viewers are used to hearing. Reynolds is also infamous for cursing a lot in Deadpool, but he was personally moved by Jackson’s affinity for swearing. In fact, he joked that Jackson came out of his mother’s womb saying his most famous curse word, “motherf*cker.”
