Scarlett Johansson confirms “top secret” Marvel project

Black Widow actor Scarlett Johansson may be a secret assassin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but turns out she is also a secret project worker.

Black Widow maybe long gone – both literally and figuratively- but Scarlett Johansson’s time at Marvel is far from over.

While the actor is best known for her role as the redheaded assassin, who finally received a solo movie back in 2021, turns out that during that time, she had also been working on a super secret project.

And now Marvel has come out with more information on said project, despite it still being very much a mystery.

Scarlett Johansson confirms “secret Marvel Studios project” with Kevin Feige

In the few press-release months after the release of 2021’s Black Widow, which was Johansson’s eighth – and seemingly final – outing as Natasha Romanoff, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed that the two were actually working together as producers on a “non-Black Widow related top-secret Marvel Studios project.”

However, for a while that quote was the only piece of information that we got. When Marvel announced its Phase 5 and 6 plans, this secret project was seemingly no where to be found. And we hadn’t even gotten any word from Johannsson herself. During a conversation with fellow Marvel star Gwyneth Paltrow on her podcast, the actor re-emphasized that she is finished playing Black Widow, explaining that the “chapter is done,” which we assumed could also refer her time at Marvel as a whole. But obviously that is not the case.
