Scarlett Johansson’s forthcoming movie The Black Widow has created curiosity among her fans. The Avengers: Endgame was one of the highest-grossing films of the decade and the sudden death of Black Widow in the film left the fans upset. However, director Cate Scotland of the upcoming film Black Widow spoke about how Natasha Romanoff was the only character in Avengers without superpowers.
Why Black Widow had no superpowers
In an interview with Total Film, director Cate Scotland said that Black Widow’s lack of strength is her true strength. She explains that she saw it as a strength because Natasha had to dig deep to get herself out of hard situations and was always stuck in difficult situations. According to a news portal, Cate revealed that she took inspiration from real-life situations for the film. One of them was about how women travel by train and what happens when they are attacked. As reported, Natasha is resilient and strong on the inside even though there are hurdles. Scotland further added that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has no shades of grey. The women are strong and are assassins, however, their abuse remains alive.
