Scarlett Johansson stars in spoof Black Widow trailer

Black is the new grey...

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…
