Scarlett Johansson: Black Widow is definitely a feminist

After ten years, Black Widow finally has her own superhero movie. The character made her debut in "Iron Man 2", and then the Marvel Cinematic Universe underwent a major transformation. Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow, recently accepted an interview with a magazine and talked about this new movie directed by Cate Shortland.

One of the most important topics in the interview is Scarlett's response to the #MeToo and "Times Up" movements: "It would be inappropriate if we didn't make a statement about it, if the film didn't respond to it positively. I think it's important, especially for Kate, to make a film about women helping women and saving women from difficult situations." In fact, for her, the position is so obvious that it doesn't need to be explained in words: "Someone asked me if Natasha was a feminist. Of course she is. This is a stupid question."

These elements are also very evident in the film's trailers and promotional materials. Black Widow is almost certainly set before the events of Avengers 4, with Scarlett Johansson handing the role of Black Widow to Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova in the film. The film also explores Black Widow's past and her journey to joining the Avengers, which was only hinted at in previous films.

The overall plot of the film is still a mystery. We only know that the villain is the Master of Mimicry, a master who can imitate any fighting technique of his opponent. The identity of the Master of Mimicry still needs to be guessed. Disney has not announced the actor who will play the role, which may bring surprises to the audience. Now the audience is waiting for the official release of the film.

Black Widow is set to hit theaters on November 6, 2020.
