Black Widow: Scarlett Johansson Opens Up On Florence Pugh Taking Over, “She’s So Different To Natasha”

The buzz that Scarlett Johansson might bid farewell to Natasha Romanoff in the upcoming Black Widow breaks our heart every time we hear it. Now, the Jojo Rabbit actor has opened up on passing the legacy to Florence Pugh, who is all set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Yelena. Johansson has expressed that Pugh can succeed her and take the franchise ahead. Below is all that she has to say.

For the unversed, Florence Pugh is set to make her Marvel debut as Yelena in Black Widow. Yelena is a surrogate sister to Natasha and the second modern-era character that will take Black Widow’s name. Now in a recent Interview, Scarlett was asked if she feels Pugh can take over.

Answering the question, Scarlett Johansson had the most admirable things to say about Florence Pugh taking over. “I definitely felt that way from the very beginning. She stands completely on her own. She’s strong and different. She’s so different to Natasha. You also see the generational difference, too, in how they react to things, and what they’re careful about, or what they’re careless about,” Johansson aka Black Widow told Total Film.
