On July 9, the Marvel blockbuster "Black Widow", which has changed the release schedule three times, was finally launched in North America and Disney+. This is the only solo film of "Widow Sister" Scarlett Johansson, because the role has been sacrificed, and this film is a prequel that exposes the past.
The movie originally planned to be released in May last year has been delayed again and again due to the epidemic, and the current Chinese mainland has not yet been finalized, but it does not prevent Marvel fans and widow fans from looking forward to this film.
There was a premiere in London the other day, but the heroine "widow" Scarlett Johansson missed the premiere because she was pregnant with her second child and the due date was approaching. The upcoming child is the first child of Scarlett and her current husband, Colin Yoster. Widow and ex-husband Roman Darek also have a daughter, Rose.
In 2010, "Iron Man 2" was released, and the audience remembered "Black Widow" Natasha Romanov, played by Scarlett Johansson. Although she has no superpowers, she is online in both appearance and has extraordinary skills, and when she was a spy, she beat the monster, and since then, "Black Widow" has gradually become one of the most well-known female superheroes on the screen.
Scarlett Johansson made the classic screen image of Black Widow, and this role also made Scarlett, because of this role of global fame, value and status are even higher, and she has become the world's highest-paid actress for two consecutive years. In "Avengers 4: Endgame", in order to obtain the soul gem, Black Widow chose to jump off a cliff and sacrifice herself, which made all the heroes quite sad, and the sadistic plot also made fans uneasy.
So there is the curtain call of the last original superhero, "Black Widow", for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is the first independent film of Marvel's most popular female superhero Black Widow, and it is also the first film of the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will lay the groundwork for the next phase of the MCU.
Child star debuted cute and agile, youth when pure and lovely, now raise hands and feet are full of thousands of styles, a smile is always breathtaking, the beautiful and dazzling Scarlett Johansson was rated as "the sexiest woman today", but "sexy goddess" is not all of her, as Scarlett herself said, "I don't want to be a sexy goddess, I want to be a character actor.".
In 1984, Scarlett was born in a middle-class family in New York, USA, her father was an architect from Denmark, her mother was a Jewish producer, and her grandfather was a director and screenwriter.
Scarlett knew at the age of 3 that she liked to perform and was keen to show, and her family supported it, "I am very outgoing, I like the adult world, I like to be the focus, I like to perform. I used to show little shows to my family, but unfortunately, those dark histories are still alive – my dad recorded them all with pesky cameras. ”
When other girls were still playing the family with dolls, the five- or six-year-old had already identified her dreams and began to practice crying in front of the mirror, that is, to learn the control of emotions required by actors. When she was eight or nine years old, Scarlett often traveled with her mother to various audition sets in New York. Once she cried on the subway because of the failure of the audition, and her mother advised her to do it some other way, after all, she was still a child, scarlett said emphatically: "No, I like acting." ”
Scarlett trained hard and auditioned, and she began to be noticed by some advertisers, but she soon got tired of shooting those short advertising films, because she wanted to be an actor who could appear in film and television dramas rather than advertising child stars. At the age of nine, Scarlett acted in her first film, "The Prodigal Bodyguard", and the first time she entered the filming scene, she intuitively knew what she should do, and the talent was breathtaking.
The precocious Scarlett is not the kind of delicate and cute sweet sister, there is always a sense of distance between the living and the unapproachable, it is difficult to imagine how a teenager in the early ten years old, how to melt the desolation and curiosity into the eyes at the same time. In the movie "The Horse Whisperer", she played the girl "Grace" who lost a leg due to a car accident, she is melancholy and lonely, with a heavy heart, but she has bright eyes and a rich heart.
Scarlett vividly interprets the girl's rebellious, unyielding, and personality with her own ideas. With her age-transcendent acting skills, Scarlett has won a number of "Star of Hope" titles, which is impressive. The director of "The Horse Whisperer" once said of Scarlett: "This is a 13-year-old girl with a 30-year-old performance."
Scarlett Johansson is extremely talented in acting, whether it is Betty, the "piano girl" with the innocence of a girl and the charm of a mature woman in the Coen brothers' crime movie "The Absent Man", or Charlotte, a young and beautiful confused young woman who is ignored by her husband in "Lost in Tokyo", or Gretel, who is born poor but has a very high artistic talent in "The Girl with Pearl Earrings", Scarlett, who is less than 20 years old, interprets the sensibility of women of different ages.
Scarlett is also the inspirational muse of the famous director Woody Allen, who has made Scarlett a literary sexy goddess in "The End of the Race", "Scoop" and "Midnight in Barcelona".
If the lonely women in the previous literary films are more of Scarlett's "original self" performances, then the sexy objects under woody Allen's lens make Scarlett completely fade away from juvenile ignorance and perform more layered.
Woody Allen once said: "Scarlett has a Marilyn Monroe-like sexiness in the depths of her soul, which is a plump beauty, radiant, hard to see, seductive and sinful." But she's always been more of an actress than Marilyn Monroe. But Scarlett didn't think so, responding, "I don't think I have a particularly big relationship with Marilyn Monroe, other than fullness." ”
Although the whole world is captivated by Scarlett's sexy appearance, she herself is obviously disdainful of being an actress who only speaks with her face and body. And from the sexy goddess to the hero, you need a superhero movie - "Iron Man 2"
Scarlett was not the first choice for Black Widow at the time, and the original actress was Emily Blunt, but Scarlett did a lot of preparation and a lot of homework, and took the initiative to ask for the mirror. To this end, she dyed her hair red early on and began to do various physical training, "building" herself into an action actor in advance.
Scarlett loves the character so much because in her opinion, "Black Widow is a survivor without compromise", and in her body is a collection of female wisdom, strength and beauty. And "female superheroes are generally too weak, but Black Widow is very handsome and capable, and I love that." ”
However, the voice from the media side is not so friendly, "Scarlett Johansson plays Black Widow, there is no need to do anything, beauty is enough", in the world of superheroes, men are also responsible for saving the world, and women are responsible for beauty. But Scarlett does not think so, although the black widow Natasha is a mortal body, but with the will of the lion and the crisp and sharp hands, condensed all the superheroes.
In order to play the role well, Scarlett privately did strength and shooting training of the same intensity as the men. When filming "Avengers 2", Scarlett, who was already pregnant, still insisted on sports and fitness, martial arts training, and director Joss Wedden said that she was "the least likely woman in the film" and praised her dedication to the role: "She threw herself into this play. ”
From 2010's "Iron Man 2" to this year's single-player film "Black Widow", Scarlett has been a "widow sister" in the Marvel Universe for ten years, and she has also starred in many impressive action movie roles, such as Lucy in "Superbody" and Shaosa in the live-action version of "Ghost in the Shell".
Not only is it decisive in the movie, but the real Risgarly also has a chivalrous temperament. In the interview, when the reporter asked Scarlett, she asked how she maintained her figure and steered the Black Widow suit, and whether she could wear underwear in the costume? Scarlett immediately began to say, "You are already the fifth person to ask me this, what is the situation?" When can I casually ask someone a question about underwear? Is this a question appropriate? It's like asking someone what underwear they're wearing! ”
Scarlett has become the highest-paid female star in Hollywood, and the youngest finalist in the top 10 list of grossing stars in the history of American cinema. When the reporter asked her how she felt, she asked the reporter: "Why am I the only actress in the Top 10?" ”
Scarlett focuses on charity and speaks out for women's equal rights. In her opinion, since celebrities have more attention, they should use it to speak out for the disadvantaged. She joined the Heroes Foundation to support women with cancer in their fight against the disease, as well as in a project to provide food assistance to children.
She challenges and rebels against male power with her own practical actions: women are no longer playthings that men peep and evaluate, they are just herself. Women, too, can be superheroes!
Scarlett once gave a speech at the event, calling on everyone not to cater to others, to learn to be themselves, to believe in themselves. Standing behind a man is an outdated concept, why not stand in front of or next to him? She has always been concerned and is trying to change, such a woman, how people can not love.
