Fans of Marvel's Black Widow can finally enjoy their heroine in her very own trailer - as a ditzy, rom-com stereotype working as an intern at 'Fashion Weekly'...

Scarlett Johansson was on hosting duties on Saturday Night Live and her star turn was undoubtedly a hilarious mock-trailer for her Avengers' character's very own spin-off movie. Asking the extremely pertinent question "Does Marvel not know how to make a girl superhero movie?", the trailer goes on to portray Ms Widow as every female film stereotype you can imagine. It's a spot-on satire of both romantic comedies and Marvel's rather one-dimensional portrayal of female characters...even though we'd secretly love to watch the imaginary film with a tub of ice-cream... https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=86&v=j_5KgpN38hM
