Scarlett Johansson Says 'Black Widow' Has More Fight Scenes Than Any MCU Movie

After almost ten years of playing Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scarlett Johansson promises that her first ever solo movie will have even more fighting than we've seen before.

Johansson's character, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), trained in a Soviet facility called the Red Room, which "created some of the world's most elite assassins by brainwashing, vigorous training, and sterilization so they would never be distracted by a family," according to ScreenRant.

In an interview with the website, the 34-year-old actress dished:

"Oh, yeah. There’s a lot of fighting in this movie. Like, so much fighting. Much more fighting than I think has ever… I think other producers that come onto the set, they're like, 'There’s more fighting in this than any other Marvel movie we’ve ever made.' It’s just brutal. I think because it’s based in reality, all the action is based in reality and it’s a lot of hand-to-hand combat. It’s painful."

Johansson's revelation makes Black Widow all the more exciting, especially considering it will be the first film of MCU's Phase 4. Other movies to come after the solo film include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Eternals, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder.

It's a new wave of cinema with an end to Marvel staples like Robert Downey Jr. and possibly Chris Evans, but Johansson and her amazing fighting skills are sure to stun in Black Widow. The film is slated for a May 1, 2020 release date.
