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."

IMHO the feminization of superheroes (e.g. Captain Marvel played by a female) hurt the series. The main reason the Black Widow character did so well was how Scarlett filled out her uniform:

I liked Gwyneth and Scarlett in those idiotic movies. Neither one of them are great actresses but you get used to seeing them up there on the screen.

The dirty little secret is, without her character the films wouldn’t have been nearly as popular.

Despite what the Left would have you believe, (traditional) sex sells.

I'm guessing it means too many (toxic) men. And traditional superheroes are males.

“What is a sausage party?”

It is a pejorative for men.

I seem to remember, Black Widow wasn’t even supposed to be in the Avengers originally, but Joss Whedon made the point to the powers that be that’d it’d be a bunch of guys hanging out on a ‘boat’ basically. She was sort of the token girl on the team, but I thought she did well, visually nice to look at and the whole professional/now celeb spy thing who was strictly business, solid enough.

A party with an abundance of men?

I guess she insults her fan base that makes her rich

A little self-righteous from someone who’s entire career is based on being a sex symbol…

I take it those bullets in her wrist bandoliers don’t fit those guns she’s carrying.

Just like a woman. Shoes ain’t matching the purse…

My guess is that Scarlett would prefer a fish fry.

Boo frickin’ hoo. I suppose she was so offended that she refused to take a paycheck for her work.
