Scarlett Johansson Talks About "...intimate friendship" with Cap. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier

While at this year San Diego Comic-Con, actress Scarlett Johansson who played Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow in the entire Marvel cinematic universe, said that her character and Captain America will form "something of an intimate friendship" in this year’s anticipated sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.  

During her press junket for Don Jon, Johansson spoke to SHH about this “intimate friendship” between her and Cap.

“SHH: You said earlier this summer that in "Cap 2" your relationship with Steve Rogers gets more intense. I actually went back and watched "The Avengers" again and noticed these little glances that you and Chris give each other. It's so subtle, not something you would think about unless you knew something was brewing. Was that something that Joss had built in?

Scarlett Johansson: No, actually. Of course in "Avengers" particularly you start to see the relationships forming between these characters, and all of us have very specific relationships with one another. Of course we all know how we feel about one another. We work and all use each other in different ways. We all have very specific opinions about one another. I think that Joss laid the groundwork for a lot of interesting connections. That's why the audiences are so intrigued by that film because they love to see how these characters react to each other that come from completely different universes.

SHH: It makes sense, because his character and your character are sort of the most grounded of the superheroes.

Johansson: It does make sense. The pairing is strange on paper, but you'll understand the pairing when you see "Cap 2" and of course Marvel's really good at noticing those connections too! They will continue to build on the different relationships that audiences connect to.”
