We’re finally going to see the Black Widow movie, after it was pushed back to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we approach the prequel film, it is slightly bittersweet. We know that, although this is Natasha’s story; there’s nothing after it. To recap, Natasha made the ultimate sacrifice atop Vormir in Avengers: Endgame. So, this is a sendoff for Natasha Romanoff, even though the film takes place after Captain America: Civil War.
In an interview with Comicbook.com, Scarlett Johansson opened up about the sacrifice her character made:
“In some weird, messed up, backwards way, if any person could be truly altruistic and totally weird, because nobody is obviously, but actually the act that she… Her sacrifice was a truly altruistic offering. I think she really sacrifices herself, in a way, no just really out of love, for love, she saves her friend. She saves everyone, but she saves her friend. And I think that just being in that kind of head space and being able to make that decision, that selfless decision, that selfless act, is so incredibly powerful. It’s amazing that she could be in that head space to do that.”
Johansson continued, praising director Cate Shortland:
“It’s been an interesting evolution, and it’s been interesting to discover it with each director that I’ve worked with and what they see, what they’re interested in and what side they want to uncover. And with Cate [Shortland], it’s been so liberating because she’s not afraid of any of the ugliness, or what is perceived to be ugliness, the embarrassing, uncomfortable parts, the soft underbelly, all that. That’s what she wants to make movies about, so it’s been… I hope that in this, you see Natasha in her real, true strength in this film, more than ever before, and that Cate will bring that out, too.”
