Chris Evans Recalls Scarlett Johansson as the Only Avenger Who Supported Him Outside the MCU – With a Catch…

Black Widow is one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a prominent member of the Avengers. She first appeared in the Iron Man films and continued to play a significant role until her tragic death in the final two films of the Infinity Saga. Although she received a stand-alone prequel, her departure marked the end of Scarlett Johansson’s MCU career.

Chris Evans’s journey as Captain America mirrors this in some ways. He debuted in a solo film and became a central figure in the MCU, retiring in Endgame and choosing to stay with Peggy. However, his story had a very different conclusion.

While both actors collaborated extensively on-screen, they also shared a strong off-screen friendship. This bond is a fascinating aspect of their stories, and we’ll explore the intriguing details of their relationship in this article.

Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson recently engaged in a conversation for Variety Studio: Actors on Actors, a unique format where actors interview each other. This exchange felt more like a candid conversation between friends than a formal interview. During their discussion about directors and their diverse approaches, an intriguing detail emerged. For more information, follow the link we provided.

Evans: It takes me a couple of days to get comfortable on set to do that. Because if you ask for more, and they don’t get better, it’s going to be harder to ask for more in the future.

Johansson: That’s a funny way of looking at it.

Evans: Yeah. It’s a really insecure, egoic way of looking at it.

Johansson: I feel if you have an idea for something, and this is probably good advice for actors that are kind of coming up or starting out in film, you should ask for another take. Or you feel maybe you have something else in you that you’re curious about, you should ask for another take because it will haunt you forever.

Evans: Sure.

Johansson: Noah is in stark contrast to Rian. He’s relentless, and you can do 50 takes. He only uses one camera, and he’s very specific about the words are the words. Every hesitation, every unfinished sentence, everyone talking over one another is all completely scripted.

Evans: Nothing is improvised in that movie?

Johansson: Not a single word.

Evans: You guys both need Oscars, because I was like, “Oh, this is improvised.” It’s like theater.

Johansson: It totally was like theater. I wanted to ask you about your experience in theater too, because you’re so good.

Evans: It’s like you’re my only actor friend that actually came to see the play [2018’s Broadway revival of “Lobby Hero”].

Johansson: They paid me.

Evans: Yup.
