If the
teasers and trailers are any indication, director Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age
of Ultron will offer us a glimpse into Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow's
backstory, including her time spent at the USSR's Black Widow Program or Red
Room Academy, her work to become a ballerina in order to cover her sleeper
agent status, and perhaps more.
Speaking
to W Magazine, Johansson revealed what attracted her in the first place to the
character, and teased what we might see when Avengers: Age of Ultron hits
theaters on May 1st.
"People
were surprised that I wanted to play a comic book heroine. But I loved Iron
Man, and I met with Marvel to see what was possible. I had done my research,
and the Black Widow character resonated with me. She is dark and has faced
death so many times that she has a deep perspective on the value of life. In
the sequel, you learn more about the sadness in her past. I think of her that
way. Black Widow is a superhero, but she’s also human. She’s small, but she’s
strong. It’s hard not to admire her."
Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the
epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark
tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible
Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the
planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The
Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy
alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global
adventure.
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey
Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris
Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett
Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional
support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria
Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying
technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they
confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by
Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet
an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by
Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular
Marvel comic book series The Avengers, first published in 1963. Get set for an
action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s Avengers:Age of
Ultron on May 1, 2015.
