'Captain America The Winter Soldier' Spoilers : Scarlett Johansson Dishes On 'Different Relationships' Fans Will See [VIDEO]
Captain America: The Winter Soldier won't be in theaters for months, but that hasn't stopped star Scarlett Johansson from talking about her role in the film.
While promoting her new film Don Jon, where she stars with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Johansson talked about the pairing of her Black Widow character with The Captain in the Marvel film.
"The pairing is strange on paper," she said. "But you'll understand the pairing when you see Cap 2 and of course Marvel's really good at noticing those connections [between characters] too! They will continue to build on the different relationships that audiences connect to."
It's not the first time the Marvel universe has uniquely paired off heroes. In last year's smash hit The Avengers, the unexpected bromance between Robert Downy Jr.'s Iron Man and Mark Ruffalo's The Hulk became super popular. But the casual viewer doesn't notice the connections between Black Widow and Captain America as much as they notice her connection with Hawkeye, according to MTV.
However, Black Widow was the first Avenger The Captain met, the two fought side-by-side in New York City, and The Captain gave Black Widow the boost she needed to catch a ride on a Chitauri sky-chariot.
Johansson said that writer/director Joss Whedon makes these subtle connections in purpose.
"Of course in Avengers particularly you start to see the relationships forming between these characters, and all of us have very specific relationships with one another," she said.
"Of course we all know how we feel about one another. We work and all use each other in different ways. We all have very specific opinions about one another. I think that Joss laid the groundwork for a lot of interesting connections. That's why the audiences are so intrigued by that film because they love to see how these characters react to each other that come from completely different universes."
Just how involved Black Widow gets with The Captain though hasn't been revealed, but some possible spoiler photos were leaked earlier this year that could spell trouble for The Captain and his first love interest, Peggy Carter.
Black Widow was previously featured working alongside Tony Stark in Iron Man 2.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens in theaters April 4, 2014.
