Collider during a 2019 press visit to the set of the upcoming movie, according to the interview the site published this week. “Really talked about like she’s a piece of something, like a possession or a thing or whatever — like a piece of ass, really.

And Tony [Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr.] even refers to her as something like that at one point. What does he say? ‘I want some.’ “While it doesn’t seem like the actress is too keen about the depiction of Natasha in previous films, she acknowledged the obvious erotic elements of her character.“At one point [Tony] calls her a piece of meat, and maybe, at that time, that actually felt like a compliment,” she said.Johansson said that her character uses her sexuality as both “a means to feel”.
