'The Avengers 2' Movie Cast News and Rumors: Scarlett Johannson Says Film Will Focus on Black Widow and Hawkeye
If you felt that the first Avengers film didn't have enough Hawkeye and Black Widow, you can rest easy knowing that Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron will feature a lot more of the characters played by Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johannson respectively... according to none other than Scarlett Johannson.
MovieFone recently sat down with the actress, who is expecting her first child with her fiance later in the year. "My character is a mercenary to begin with and was sort of put into the Widow program. She's had a dark past, and she's just beginning to discover how her past affects her when we see her in 'Cap 2.' I think she's had to dehumanize in a way, obviously, as anyone in that position does just to be able to accomplish the things that she's had to. But now she's like, 'Wow, I actually have nightmares about this stuff.' She's starting to realize, Wow, I'm a product of what I've done in some way. And I think, in 'Avengers 2,' it's about time that our past comes back to haunt us in some way -- all of us, I think, in one way or another," she said.
In addition, The Hollywood Reporter is confirming that more focus will also be on Hawkeye (played by Jeremy Renner) and The Hulk (played by Mark Ruffalo), simply because we haven't seen them since the last Avengers movie. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirms he's taking the "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" route, which is why neither character has made an appearance in any subsequent films since The Avengers.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is intended to be the sequel to 2012's The Avengers and the eleventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Jackson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and James Spader.
