Scarlett Johansson said 'The Avengers' set felt like a 'big sausage party'

Scarlett Johansson said the set of the early MCU films was like a "big sausage party."

Johansson, who played Black Widow, made the comments on an appearance on "The Goop Podcast."

Gwyneth Paltrow, who hosts the podcast, said the cast was "psyched" to have Johansson join them.

While reminiscing on her early days in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scarlett Johansson said she very much felt the lack of female representation.

During a recent conversation with Gwyneth Paltrow on "The Goop Podcast," Johansson, 38, reflected on her acting career as well as her journey within the Marvel franchise. Johansson played Natasha Romanoff throughout nine marvel movies, including the 2021 standalone film "Black Widow."

At the start of the Marvel franchise, she and Paltrow, who played Pepper Potts, were some of the few female characters onscreen.

Paltrow, 50, said she and the rest of the cast of "Iron Man 2" were "psyched" to have Johansson join the cast for the film, which premiered in 2010......

"I'm done," Johansson told Paltrow (at the 19:28 mark). "Chapter is over. I kind of did all that I had to do. Also coming back and playing a character again and again like that, over a decade of time, is such a unique experience."

No it’s just a term for a party with too many men. Generally used by men.

Bro 1: “this party sucks. There are no women.”

Bro 2: “yeah, it’s a real sausage party.”

(That’s from an Israeli book on American English idioms. As a non native speaker, I carry it around.)

Well her family is Eastern European Jewish.

We have a look.

I don’t care for her immodest clothing, but she’s a very good entrepreneur in Israel. Liberals protest her because she’s behind the soda stream products made in Israel. She established large factories in the West Bank and employs lots of people.

For a girl who likes lots of attention, perhaps.

Just wondering if she still gets herself tested for aids every 6 months like she said she does?

Captain Marvel was literally a plot device. I give Marvel credit for getting folks to shelll our cash to go see a movie about the back story of a plot device.

The character is just one dimensional both on screen and in the comics.

Probably what she called a meeting with Weinstein to get her roles.

OMG, the whining from Hollywood about their high paying jobs. She should try working on a ship or an offshore platform.

She’s the highest paid actress in Hollywood, or close to it.

I think she’s doing OK.

The statement is taken out of context. Basically, she just said “she was the only female on set in one movie, and it was nice to have other females in the others.”

Her movie was a boring flop. She’s bitter.

Sounds like someone needs a sausage party.
