Scarlett Johansson will act as Black Widow in a standalone film and she admires Angelina Jolie

Scarlett Johansson will act as Black Widow in a standalone film. Cate Shortland will be directing and others casts will be David Harbour, plus Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz.

What Scarlett has to say about this movie, "I'm very excited about it, and I have to say, I was nervous coming here because we're in the middle of shooting right now, so it's not a time that you could ever share anything with anybody on any side of the movie, particularly in this universe, where everything is just so huge and the pressure's on. But I'm really, really proud of what we showed today."

"It was amazing. I mean, there's a lot of women up there that I hugely admire—Angelina, Salma...Rachel, Tessa...Natalie. It's bananas. I think it's very exciting. I think it grounds the presence of the MCU in a way. It's very exciting to see such a diverse group of people. It's awesome. And it's about time."
