A strenuous schedule and multiple locations made it a challenge to shoot four months of filming Marvel’s entry to Cate Shortland.
“Black Widow” is finally appearing in theaters after seemingly endless changes in release dates – in theaters and streaming via Disney + on July 9th. as Yelena Belova, who, as successor to Natasha Romanoff (Johansson), will further boost female stories in the “Black Widow” universe.
According to a new article on the British communication channel The Gentlewoman, filming Cate Shortland’s MCU action adventure proved to be an exhaustive four-month shoot conducted in multiple locations and affected the cast and producers:
“It was like being in the army,” said Cate Shortland. According to the story. “In the end, Scarlett and her co-star Florence Pugh were filming while they had pneumonia.”
“Black Widow” was filmed in Norway, Morocco, the United Kingdom and the United States
Still Shortland insisted that Johansson remained excited during the shoot. “She is completely unpretentious,” said the director, “and that makes it a lot of fun to be around. She will be playing with the best boy or the runner; there is no hierarchy. It values people and makes people feel appreciated. “
In the interview, Johansson also talked about how she made her career courting controversy – from her whitewashed cast in “Ghost in the Shell” to comments in defense of Woody Allen. Johansson told The Gentlewoman that “I will have opinions about things, because this is who I am”, while also acknowledging that she did not always say the right thing in public. “I mean, everyone has a hard time admitting when they’re wrong about things, and for all of that to come out publicly, it can be embarrassing. Having the experience of, ‘Wow, I was really wrong there, either I wasn’t looking at the big picture, or I was reckless.’ I am also a person. “
Johansson also added: “I don’t think that actors have an obligation to play a public role in society. Some people do, but the idea that you are obliged because you are in the public eye is unfair. You did not choose to be a politician, you are an actor. Your job is to reflect our experience for ourselves; his job is to be a mirror to an audience, to be able to have an empathetic experience through art. This is your job. “
