How did you connect as an actress to the character, aside from the physical challenge?
Scarlett Johansson: "I think that the character is sort of a shape-shifter. It was sort of like playing two different characters. One character that is more kind of mysterious, I don’t want to say submissive, but she’s blending in with the crowd, I suppose. The other part of this character is someone who is assertive and knows their sh-t.

She’s able to just say, 'I’m going to fight this head on.' For me, being able to have that kind of feeling, being able to be competent enough to sell it, that this is somebody who is going to kick some ass and don’t for a second doubt that she’s going to follow through with the punch. It was a challenge for me, but Jon was incredible. He really supported me with this."

Were you happy with the way you looked in the cat suit?

Scarlett Johansson: "Finally I was, yes. I have to say that you put that much work into something and you put it on, and you better be happy with it."

When you saw yourself in that outfit for the first time what was your reaction?

Scarlett Johansson: "It was crazy to see it for the first time. Everything all zipped up and all the weapons in there, bracelets on, and the whole look. It was pretty sweet, I have to say. Certainly walking on set, because a lot of the people that worked on the film were fans of the comic, and of course they knew the Black Widow. They were all super excited to see the Black Widow.

When they, and everybody in the crew were like, 'That looks awesome.' I knew like, 'Okay.'"

How did it feel?

Scarlett Johansson: "How did it feel? Warm. Warm and stretchy."
