Scarlett Johansson wants her own AVENGERS spinoff.

While promoting AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, co-star Johansson said that she would love to do a BLACK WIDOW spinoff, provided AVENGERS director Joss Whedon signs on. Check out the full interview below!

Following the success of The Avengers (2012), the film continues Marvel's superhero franchise with the return of fan-favourite characters including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). When Tony Stark jumpstarts a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes are put to the ultimate test as they battle to save the planet from destruction at the hands of the villainous Ultron.

The film surpasses Cineplex's long-standing record holder Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Pt. 2, followed by The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Marvel's AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON is in Cineplex theatres nationwide as of yesterday, May 1. For tickets and showtimes, visit www.cineplex.com.
