Scarlett Johansson to Land Iron Man Film Role
Posted May 4, 2010 6:37 am in Graphic Fun, Kids by admin Comments OffMovie star Scarlett Johansson has claimed that landing the role for Iron Man has made her happy. The Iron Man franchise is a big deal in the states and the Ironman Armored Adventures series is just the latest in a string of side projects related to the original comic book.
Scarlett Johansson admits that joining a comic franchise and taking on a butt-kicking personality like Black Widow was kind of a challenge.
This was a completely new bag of tricks for me. It came out of left field. It’s a lot to submerge myself in, she asserts. Coaching like that is hard. It’s lots of work. You essentially suck till you get it right. But she was committed to getting it right and doing as many of the stunts herself as practical. You are asked to just fully desert everything that you concentrate on this person and go with the story, she asserts, putting herself in the audience’s shoes. And then all of a sudden they are doing a fight sequence and you only see the back of their head and you go, ‘Wait a minute! I require the cash shot! I would like to see them fight! I had no desire to be the back of the head.’ While still quite young, Johansson is a veteran in the movie world, having made her debut at age ten. And she is learned the best way to not get overcome by the demands of the film business. I have been doing this for a long period of time, and it isn’t that I am jaded by it, but I believe more that I have learned to pace myself, she asserts. It’s very exciting to be part of this. But you know, I live an especially low-key way of life. I am going to go back home, I am going to clean up.
Perhaps I will make dinner or have dinner with buddies or whatever.
I can get to bed and it’ll be the same tomorrow. It is a job, really. And part of that job now is discovering a way to transition into more mature roles, she is saying.
I am kind of in a transitory segment of my career. I am twenty-five and I have been acting in flicks for a considerable time, and I have definitely played the ingenue in each capacity in each different incarnation, she asserts. I am looking forward towards playing the lady, versus the young woman. Iron Man two is part of that new phase, she insists. One side of the film that Johansson was especially excited about was what was left out about Black Widow. We know little about her romantically in this film, she points out. It is refreshing..
