Scarlett Johansson, amidst promoting her highly anticipated Black Widow solo movie, recently shared insights into her enduring friendship with fellow actor Chris Evans.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Podcast with Julia Cunningham, Johansson delved into the roots of their bond, which dates back to their teenage years.
The Hollywood star revealed that her connection with Evans predates their Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) days.
Their friendship blossomed while filming the 2004 teen comedy film, “The Perfect Score,” in which they starred.
Johansson reminisced about their long conversations on various topics, highlighting their ability to communicate effortlessly, much like their on-screen counterparts Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) and Steve Rogers (Captain America).
Dispelling rumors of a romantic involvement during the filming of “The Perfect Score,” Johansson emphasized the spiritual nature of their relationship.
Despite their closeness, both actors pursued separate paths in their personal lives. While Johansson remained committed to her partner, Evans eventually ventured beyond the MCU to explore new acting opportunities.
As Johansson gears up for the release of “Black Widow,” she reflects on the significance of her character’s journey within the MCU timeline.
After the events of “Captain America: Civil War” and preceding Black Widow’s demise in “Avengers: Endgame,” the film marks the beginning of Phase 4 in the MCU.
With anticipation mounting, “Black Widow” is poised to captivate audiences when it hits theaters on July 9, simultaneously premiering on Disney+.
