Scarlett Johansson is one of the most important actors in the history of the Marvel film Universe, after showing the black widow, aka Natasha Romanof, on the screen for more than a decade. The character (spoilers?) In the end he died in "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019 and while Johansson returned to the role two years later in the film "Black Widow" (which takes place before "Endgame" in the MCU time), she has Clearly clearly, the black widow will remain dead herself. However, before Johansson seemed to have been united with Marvel Studios since landing after landing a 2025 -year -old executive producer of Thunderbolts. However, it turns out that she tried to remove that credit.

Johansson referred to this as he talked with "Thunderbolts*" Starwarr David Harbor, who made his MCC debut in "Black Widow", in a piece of Interview magazine. The two were talking on the same day that the Thunderbolt*hit theaters and had a good exchange for it. But in the middle of the party, Johansson revealed that she 1) did not see the film at that moment and 2) tried to remove her name from her loans. Here's how the exchange went:

Port: It is the day of opening the film in which, basically, you are the seventh thunder. Your character is all over this movie. Have you seen that?

Johansson: No.

Port: Good. You are an executive producer of it. Congratulations.

Johansson: I asked to remove my credit because I was not included.

The The role of film producer may be more intense to explain Than, say, the one of the director. Some film producers do not do much and still raise salaries. Others are very involved in production. In this case, Johansson ended up not to do much, although it seems that it was also not pleasant to take any credit for the movie. This, of course, invite a whole host of questions that follow what happened behind the scenes here.

Let's rewind the clock by November 2021. Marvel Studios chief, Kevin Jegie, just confirmed Johansson was supposed to produce a MCC projectAlthough he remained shrouded in mystery. Woulde revealed much later, the mysterious project was really "Thunderbolts*", which used several characters from the "Black Widow", especially Jelena Belova (Florence Pug) and the red guardian of Harbor.

Although Johansson would not appear on the screen, having his contribution to the MCC angle extension, it helped in shape it makes sense. After all, Akeejk Schreer wounded in the director's chair. While the film was produced, Johansson was busy making films like "Asteroid City", "Fly Me to the Moon", "Transformers One" and "The Phoenician Scheme". It is also important to remember that Johansson sued Marvel and Disney for Disney's "Black Wid"What Disney solved.

So what happened exactly? Was Johansson too busy with her other projects practical? Has the creative direction away from what was originally brought to the ship to be part of? Does the lawsuit pick things up more than we are aware of public? Without Johansson offering more information, it's hard to know, but at least contractual, Marvel and Disney had to keep their "executive producer" title in the loans, even if she was against her desires.

As for the future, one tone Marvel actors are back for "Avengers: Doomsday" in 2026 And probably "secret wars" in 2027. However, Johansson made it clear that it would not be one of them. However, she remains busy, leading the cast of the upcoming Jurassic World Return, with several other projects on her list to be done. This is, in every probability, her last flirting with MCU, even if it was only ceremonial.

"Thunderbolts*" is now in cinemas.
