Black Widow vs. the Testosterone Fest
Scarlett Johansson said she felt like Black Widow, a.k.a.
Natasha Romanoff, has evolved with fan expectations.
“Posingas,” Favreau interjected.
(He directed her inIron Man 2.)
“Posing as, thank you,” Johansson said.
“Then when we saw her inThe Avengers, she was one of the boys for better or worse.
She said it was a relief when more women joined the team.
“The movies have grown in reaction to that fan encouragement,” Johansson added.
I felt like I had been in this testosterone fest for so long.
I feel like I’m amongst so many strong actors.”
Nebula’s Revenge
Gillan came the closest to giving away her Luphomoid assassin’s storyline.
“I’m excited for her to face the source of this abuse.
She’s talked about how she wants to inflict revenge, so we all know about that.
I’d like to see her have a go at face that.”
Then Gillan began to backtrack.
“I don’t know if she will.
Maybe she won’t,” she added hastily.
“I just got really nervous I gave something away, so I’m going to stop.”
“I did see the trailer, so I do know that I’m in it.
As for how he fits in, that remains to be seen.”
It’s like having the Beatles say, come on and jam with us.”
“To play a small part in that pun intended is something I will always treasure.”
She said she came to the character knowing little about what would happen to her.
She said people might be surprised about what it’s like making a Marvel movie.
“There’s wonder and play and encouragement.”
“Rhodey obviously started as a lighter-toned individual, bigger than life, than I am in life.
He added, “To get to keep coming back.
Boggle Battle
Apparently, this word game is how the Avengers actors pass the time.
Larson ignited rivalries when she declared she was the champion.
“Brie, let’s be real,” Evans said.
“Nobody can beat Don.
But Paul’s good, too.”
“Paul’s definitely is good,” Johansson added.
“Like, sleeper Boggle.”
“Do I have selective memory, I feel like I crushed the whole time,” Larson said.
“What is the most impressive Boggle word, that had been found?”
He has nothing else, but he found ‘asbestos’!”
Then he revealed what made Cheadle legendary.
“We were flying one time, and Don found the word: ‘Avengers,'” Evans said.
“That’s a good sign.”
