Scar-Jo Getting 'Huge Part' In Avengers Sequel

Joss Whedon has revealed that Scarlett Johansson's character Black Widow will play a "huge part" in the forthcomingAvengers sequel.

The filmmaker revealed last weekend that the new movie will be called The Avengers: Age Of Ultron - and he has now warned fans they can expect to see a lot more Scar-Jo in his second movie for Marvel Studios.

Speaking in a live webacst for Nerd HQ, Whedon said: "Natasha (Black Widow) is a huge part of the sequel because you do want to concentrate on the people who don't have their own franchises.

"Although she's in [Captain America 2] and she's great. She was the most fun for me because she's not a hero, you know, and it's something that I read - and I feel bad that I can't remember who wrote the book - but it's in one of the books explaining: 'These guys are heroes, you are a spy.'

"It's a different thing, it's a different skill set, and you don't have their moral high ground or any of that good stuff.

"And that just makes her so interesting to me. So yeah, the stuff I've got going on with her in the second one is killer."
