But as Scarlett Johansson hits our screens in blockbuster superhero movie Black Widow this week, she admits not playing a sex symbol has been one of her most empowering roles to date. It has been more than a decade since Scarlett first played the Black Widow in Iron Man 2. Scarlett loves playing her and is thrilled that female superheroes like Black Widow and Captain Marvel have become such inspirational characters. She was married to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds when she starred in Iron Man, but they split after three years together. The Black Widow was killed off in Marvel’s Endgame – which concluded phase 4 of the MCU – after sacrificing herself to save the world from supervillain Thanos.
