Scarlett Johansson says making Black Widow was 'extremely stressful'

She said that the film gave them the opportunity to show Black Widow at a time when she was off her game. Scarlett said that it was this aspect about the film that really made anything possible. Being an executive producer for the movie, the actor said that she was part of all the script meetings for Black Widow. It was during that time when she revealed that they were trying to map out several details that would go into forming the script for the movie.

She said that the team worked hard as they commenced to figure out how Natasha’s origin would be developed for the film. Scarlett Johansson revealed that mapping out all of those things became extremely stressful as there were no guidelines when it came to her character. The actor jovially laughed it off and said that she believes that the MCU fans will respond to Black Widow as flashbacks from her origins, which will all add up to her final sacrifice.
