Scarlett Johansson stars in fake ‘Black Widow’ movie trailer for ‘SNL’

NEW YORK, May 3 (UPI) — Scarlett Johansson sent up her {i:Avengers} film franchise by appearing in a {i:Saturday Night Live} trailer for a faux standalone Marvel movie focused on her character Black Widow.

“Does Marvel not know how to make a girl superhero movie?” a voice in the clip asks. “Chill. Marvel gets women. Coming in 2016.”

It then shows scenes from the film {i:Black Widow: Age of Me}, a romantic comedy that shows the title character trying to navigate a complicated relationship with the robotic villain Ultron, guided by advice from her wacky pals Thor and Captain America. After Black Widow — spoiler alert — realizes she and Ultron just aren’t made for each other, she sees the possibility of romance with another Marvel icon, the Hulk.

{i:Avengers: Age of Ultron} earned nearly $188 million in North America this weekend.
