According to reports, actress Scarlett Johansson is pregnant with her first child. This is great news for Johansson fans, but not so great news for those anticipating Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. How will the movie continue filming in time for its May 1, 2015 release date if the Black Widow has a bun in the oven?

Yesterday, multiple sources confirmed to E! News that the 29-year-old actress is pregnant with the child of Romain Dauriac, her fiancé. According to the website, Johansson is due in August. The baby bump could affect her schedule, however, as E! News reports that Johansson is supposed to begin filming Avengers 2 on April 5.

"They're going to fast-track her scenes," an "insider" told E! News regarding shooting around the pregnancy.

Johansson is reportedly supposed to begin reprising her role of Natasha Romanoff immediately after completing her promotional tour of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

"The studio wouldn't comment about her having to reschedule filming," E! News reports.

The Avengers actress has yet to announce the pregnancy, but Johannson and Dauriac's engagement was confirmed in September. A rep for Johansson said the two were "very happy" but "haven't chosen a date for the wedding." Johannson and the French journalist's romance began in November 2012, shortly after Johansson and Nate Naylor broke up. Johansson was previously married to Ryan Reynolds; they got a divorce in July of 2011.

Avengers 2: Age of Ultron also features Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson reprising their roles as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk and Nick Fury respectively. New actors include Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle and James Spader as Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Hawkeye, War Machine and Ultron respectively. Anthony Mackie is rumored to be playing Sam Wilson/The Falcon.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier premieres April 4, 2014.
