The MCU star just can’t let it go! Five years after “Avengers: Endgame” crushed box office records, Scarlett Johansson is still mad the film got zero love from the Academy.
In a spicy Vanity Fair chat, she straight-up asked, “How did this film not get nominated?”
The Blockbuster That Oscar Forgot
ScarJo didn’t hold back when discussing the epic superhero finale.
“It was an impossible movie that shouldn’t have worked but totally did,” she ranted.
The massive hit that made bazillions worldwide only snagged one measly nomination for visual effects, while “Black Panther” remains the only Marvel flick to compete for Best Picture.
Not Just About Endgame
The actress’s beef with the Academy runs deeper than superhero snubs.
After presenting with 95-year-old June Squibb at this year’s ceremony, Johansson had thoughts about the show itself.
“Why was it so long?” she wondered, totally trashing the James Bond tribute as “an ad placement” that left viewers confused.
Black Widow Stays Dead
Despite her fond memories of Marvel, ScarJo insists she’s done playing Natasha Romanoff.
“Her story is complete,” she explained with zero uncertainty.
Earlier this year, she shut down comeback rumors with brutal clarity: “Natasha is dead. She is dead. She’s dead. Okay?”
Avengers Moving On
While Johansson stands firm, her former co-stars keep returning to the MCU playground.
Chris Evans popped up in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and both Hemsworth and Downey Jr.
are joining the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” – with RDJ switching sides to play the big bad Doctor Doom himself!
