“We All Looked Insane”: Scarlett Johansson Shares Unexpected Perspective on Filming ‘The Avengers’
Marvel veteran Scarlett Johansson has opened up on the messy but rewarding experience of filming the first Avengers film.

When The Avengers came out in 2012, it was the first big "wow we have a cinematic universe" moment that'd been slowly building since the massive success that was 2008's Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. As the franchise slowly built with movies like Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor, longtime Marvel fans knew it would eventually build up to the formation of the team known as The Avengers. With such a huge undertaking a not much of a frame of reference with something to this scale, there's bound to be bumps in the road. MCU actress Scarlett Johansson, who played Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow, talked with Variety about her experience and her perspective may come as a surprise.
