Scarlett Johansson Gossip

MAJOR SPOILERS WITHIN SPOILER ALERT SPOILERS  BEWARE OF SPOILERS ONE MORE TIME – SPOILERS  Natasha Romanoff was the second Avenger in the door. Scarlett Johansson debuted the character way back in 2010, in Iron Man 2. She was the second team member we met, not Captain America, not Thor, and not Mark Ruffalo’s revamped Bruce Banner. Full Story

(Lainey: I edit almost every post that goes up on this site. I have not read this post. And I’m sad about that because I love reading Sarah’s articles so much. But I’m also trying to go into Avengers: Endgame as clean as possible and while Sarah has assured us that she’s written a UNspoilery review below, and that she’s given ample warning where necessary, she’s signed off on me not editing it because she doesn’t want to be blamed for whatever dramatics I might cook up when and after I see it - because I KNOW I’m going to be dramatic. Full Story

Avengers: Endgame opens in two days and I CAN’T WAIT TO TALK ABOUT IT. Infinity War was not a movie I felt compelled to discuss after the fact, but oh boy are we going to be talking about Endgame. One reason to talk about it is that this is the end of an era. Sure, Marvel will continue making movies (forever, if they have their way), and there will be another Avengers movie, at some point. Full Story

Scarlett Johansson is currently promoting Avengers: Endgame, a movie which needs no promotion. She was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night with RDJ, Chris Hemsworth, and Paul Rudd. Next year, she’ll probably be back on the Marvel beat promoting her own movie, Black Widow, which is reportedly going to film this summer Full Story

Vogue’s April issue has a series of covers featuring actresses from around the world, representing the biggest and/or most promising names from fourteen countries. Lainey emailed me about it and said, “Global actresses…and Scarlett Johansson?!?!” I get it, though, ScarJo is a huge draw around the world. Full Story

Black Panther is the first Marvel movie with a real shot at a major Oscar nomination. As such, Disney is backing an actual, proper award campaign for the movie and key craftspeople involved, particularly Ruth Carter, the costume designer. I attended an event with Ruth Carter a couple months ago and she was so interesting, and her thought process on putting together costumes for Black Panther was so technical and considered. Full Story

The trailer for Avengers 4, officially titled Avengers: Endgame has finally arrived and we have some things to discuss. First, that title. After much overdone secrecy, it is revealed to be “Endgame”, a reference to Doctor Strange’s line in Infinity War. It’s fine. It hardly justifies the amount of cloak-and-dagger around its reveal because it is a f-cking TITLE. Full Story

The People’s Choice Awards have always been kind of a joke. I feel like by now even the MiniVan Majority knows this? They’re trying to elevate the PCAs by airing them on E! but I’m not sure that makes a difference. E! is part of NBCUniversal. NBC has the TV rights to a much more popular awards show that many more people care much more about: the Golden Globes. Full Story

Once upon a time, Marvel was called cheap, largely because they didn’t pay their actors massive contracts (and also famously serving Subway sandwiches at their press junkets). Then, The Avengers happened and RDJ pulled in $50 million. So the story became that Marvel was cheap, except for RDJ, who gets the GDP of a small country just for showing up. Full Story

The last time I wrote about a celebrity PSA encouraging people to vote, it was before the 2016 election when Joss Whedon launched his campaign Full Story

This is not the first major event that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost have attended together and walked the red carpet for. He accompanied her to the Avengers: Infinity War premiere. And then again at the Met Gala Full Story
