Scarlett Johansson ‘quickly killed’ Black Widow’s sexy blond look

Outspoken “Black Widow” star Scarlett Johansson continues to have her franchise character’s back.

After years of anticipation, Marvel’s leading lady joined her Avengers counterparts and finally starred in her own stand-alone film. Leading up to the July 9 premiere of “Black Widow,” Johansson, 36, caused a bit of a stir when asked about the evolution of her character, Natasha Romanoff — also known as the titular comic book hero. The two-time Oscar nominee decried the “piece of ass” hypersexualization of her character throughout the franchise’s evolution.
