Chris Evans Wants a 'Black Widow' Movie As Much as You Do
Chris Evans thinks a solo Black Widow movie would "clean up," and we can't disagree.
The Captain America star, who's out chatting up his new movie "Scarlett [Johansson] is so good at everything she does. She's played such a crucial part in the other films. She always makes her presence so felt — even when there are 50 different superheroes running around onscreen. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens at some point in the future. I'm sure Scarlett would be open to it."
Johansson's shattered box-office expectations with 2014's "Ghost in the Shell" is being cited as one of the reasons it's now a $60 million write-off. But a Black Widow movie still seems like a no-brainer and a guaranteed moneymaker.
Johansson's Russian spy will play a pivotal part in "Black Panther."
Marvel has released its schedule up through 2019, but so far, there's no Black Widow movie. Its first female-led movie, "Captain Marvel," starring Brie Larson, comes out in 2019.
Maybe if DC's "Wonder Woman" slays at the box office, Marvel will finally give a Black Widow movie the green light. The closest thing we've gotten was this "SNL" skit that dropped the kickass heroine into a typical romcom.
But back to Evans: In the Elle article, he also talks about studying with a guru in India, how he's always up for hugging his exes, and "putting a banana in his butt" for "Not Another Teen Movie."
