I believe that everyone still remembers the fledgling widow sister in "Iron Man 2", when the black widow debut made countless fans become its ten-year old fans, but recently the widow sister herself personally came forward to reflect on the shaping of this role at that time, and also said that this role was interpreted too sexy at that time, which was not appropriate.
"Widow Sister" Scarlett Johansson said in an interview that the role of Black Widow was initially "too sexy" and treated "as property":
“...... I mean, you look back at Iron Man 2, and while it's really a lot of fun and good moments, the character is too sexy, you know? Every time she was talked about ass or something, like a property being talked about, it was really bad. ”
She also said that times are changing, people's aesthetics of characters are also changing, and nowadays people like to see more positive things in female superheroes.
"Now people, young people, want to receive more positive messages, this shift is quietly happening, the stories of the past are now relatively old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement." I think progress is a cool thing. ”
Johnson also spoke of the character's change being driven by her own growth, saying:
“...... I think the change comes from myself, I'm almost 35 now, I'm a mom and my life is no longer the same, a lot has happened in the last 10 years, I have a very different and more progressive understanding of myself, as a woman, I'm at different stages in my life and that's driving the role change. ”
Today, female superheroes are no longer just the foil of the protagonist as they used to be, and they have become the protagonists who can support a stand-alone work.
And "Black Widow" starring widowed sister will also be released in theaters on July 9.
