While discussing her upcoming Marvel Studios film Black Widow, actress Scarlett Johansson suggested Marvel was sexist in the way it portrayed her character, Natasha Romanoff, in the 2010 film Iron Man 2, stating that the fictional character was treated “like a piece of ass.” “Ten years have passed and things have happened and I have a much different, more evolved understanding of myself,” Johansson said in a recent interview with Collider. “As a woman, I’m in a different place in my life — I’m more accepting of myself, I think.” “All of that is related to that move away from the kind of hyper-sexualization of this character and, I mean, you look back at Iron Man 2 and while it was really fun and had a lot of great moments in it, the character is so sexualized, you know?” Johansson said of the fictional character she played in Iron Man 2.
