Into the World of the ‘Avengers’ Cast
Former ‘Avengers’ star, Scarlett Johansson, recently explored the strong bond between the actors of the famous Marvel franchise. The actress described the group’s regular communication through an active text chain, similar to those constantly popping up in popular internet memes.
Johansson’s Journey with ‘Avengers’
Scarlett Johansson, known for her role as Black Widow, played a big part in the ‘Avengers’ series from the early stages until 2021 when she got her solo movie. Despite her character’s death in ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ the actress stays connected with her teammates on and off-screen.
Advancements in Acting Career
Besides her Marvel success, Johansson has engaged in several other projects. She embarked on a producer’s journey for the first time with ‘Fly Me to the Moon,’ a conspiracy comedy slated for release soon. Furthermore, the star actress is also planning to make her directorial debut with ‘Eleanor the Great.’ Johansson’s versatility is also visible as she has signed up for a part in the ‘Jurassic World’ spinoff.
Moving Beyond Marvel: The ‘Avengers’ Text Chain
The actress opened up about the secret communication between the original ‘Avengers’ actors to The New York Times, explaining how they discuss both hits and misses in their respective careers. While the talented Johansson has enjoyed success with ‘Asteroid City’ and her production debut, not all ‘Avengers’ have the same fortune. Co-stars Chris Evans and Paul Rudd, for example, haven’t had much luck recently. Nonetheless, the support within the group remains unbroken, as detailed in their text chain conversations.
Disney Dispute Debrief
Johansson recently found herself in two legal battles, one with OpenAI over the usage of her likeness for chatbot, Sky, and a more publicized dispute with Disney. The latter stems from the simultaneous release of her solo movie, ‘Black Widow,’ on streaming platforms and in theaters.
However, Johansson is adamant about not harboring any ill feelings towards Disney, brushing it off as “poor judgment and poor leadership at that time.” She admits feeling incredibly disappointed, leading her to take legal action eventually. Throughout the dispute, she was dealing with the added stress of being pregnant during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
