With a budget rumoured to be at over $220 million, Avengers: Age of Ultron promises to be one of the biggest, most complicated shoots in movie history. Making the shoot even more complicated is the fact that one of its stars, Scarlett Johansson, appears to be several months pregnant.
But as Johansson recently explained to ET Canada“s Sangita Patel, the film’s shooting schedule will proceed as planned regardless of what’s going on in her private life.
“We start as soon as we finish the press tour for Captain America 2,”; she said. “We’re good to go.”;
Although Johansson didn’t directly comment on her pregnancy, Marvel producer Kevin Feige was a bit more helpful. “In regards to her current state, we’ve adjusted a few things in the schedule but we’re proceeding essentially as planned,”; he said.
Age of Ultron will mark the fourth time that Johansson has played the character Black Widow. In all four films, though, Black Widow has been confined to supporting roles. A Black Widow solo movie has been rumoured for sometime now, and according to Johansson, the movie may soon come to fruition—provided, of course, that Marvel fans stay vocal about their desire to see it.
“I love playing this character and I think one of the fun things about all these Marvel films is that they really encourage the fan participation and encouragement,”; she said. “And if they want it we’ll have to give them what they want.”;
Captain America: Winter Soldier hits theatres April 4.
