Avengers: Endgame deserved an Oscar according to Scarlett Johansson

“It was an impossible film …” The Black Widow of Avengers does not understand that the Academy had snubbed the last part of phase III of the MCU, in 2019.

While the famous actress put on her director’s cap to present her very first film to the Cannes event of the year, the one who once embodied the character of Black Widow has a message to convey.

Against the backdrop of nostalgia and like many others, the Hollywood star pushes a rant and attacks the snobbery of The Academy of Oscars for the franchise Avengers. In an interview for Vanity Fair praising his debut as a director with Eleanor The Great – presented in preview at the Croisette – and attaching to its next appearance on the screen in the last Jurassic World,, Scarlett Johansson was said to be deeply shocked by the exclusion ofAvengers: Endgame Major competitions from the ceremony, like that of the best film. Note that Black Panther remains the only film Marvel to have been appointed to the Oscars in the royal category. The same question then remains unanswered: do commercial successes at the top of the box office have the right to their statuette?

“” “How could this film have not been appointed to the Oscars?“Asked Johansson about the Marvel feature film who broke – remember – all records in 2019 to receive only one appointment for visual effects.

“How is it possible that this film was not appointed to the Oscars? It was an impossible film, which should never have worked-and yet it really works as a film. And in addition, it is one of the greatest successes of all time at the box office!”

Endgam has a particular meaning for the actress since he staged the death of Black Widow, a character in the cinematographic universe Marvel that she has embodied since Iron Man 2released over ten years ago. If she has returned to the world of superheros for the prequelreleased during the pandemic, Scarlett Johansson did not plan to put on his emblematic black suit once again, despite the lack of his game partners.

“” “It would be very difficult for me to understand how a return would be relevant to the character I play. I miss my friends and I would really like to be with them forever, but what is good with this character is that his story is complete. I don’t want to spoil it. For fans too, it’s important for them. “

Snobbery of Avengers was not the only annoyance of the American star who deplores an extended ceremony: “Why was it so long?“(She also declared in the interview that”The movies are so too much now”). When Vanity Fair suggested that The tribute to James Bond had participated in stretching the duration of the event, Johansson replied: “Without comment. It looked like an advertising placement. It was weird. ” People wondered: “But what was this mess?“”

Scarlett Johansson can no longer be asked to replay Black Widow
