The discussion of whether or not Scarlett Johansson
should have her own Black Widow standalone movie continues, and this time it's
her Avengers co-star Robert Downey Jr. that weighs in on the subject.
“Doesn’t Scarlett deserve a break?” said
the Downey,
laughing, to the fact that the actress, who starred in three movies, one tv
episode, and one short, is about to become a mother. The actor then elaborates why Widow is
the perfect female character to have her own solo outing.
“Look, I think that the
interesting thing particularly after [Guardians of the Galaxy] with Zoe
[Saldana], even from the first Iron Man where
Pepper was kind of this really – to me the Iron Man franchise
would never have taken off without [Gwyneth] Paltrow. There’s something about
her that grounded the story. She’s not your typical lady in a superhero movie,
and then by Iron Man
3 she’s
swallowing serums and putting on suits and kicking [butt] and all that stuff.
It would be kind of more appropriate for a character that already was like a
Black Widow [to lead a movie]. It just seems like whatever Scarlett does people
want to go see it.”
The actor goes on to say that aside
from Black Widow, Hulk and Hawkeye should also get their own standalone movies,
and teases about both characters futures.
“The
funny thing is honestly at this point everyone deserves a franchise. I think
Jeremy Renner is — when folks see the Avengers:
Age of Ultron he’s
just a rockstar, a badass. And Ruffalo is pumped. He does great (work). I’d
like to hear them talk even more seriously about a Hulk franchise, because
that’s been one of the toughest ones to get right. But I’m sure that my parent
company is feeling expansive and bold after the summer they’ve had.”
