Captain America 2: Scarlett Johansson Previews Black Widow, Cap's Relationship in 'The Winter Soldier'

Scarlett Johansson will reprise her role as Black Widow in next year's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and her character will have an evolved relationship with the star-spangled superhero.

In an exclusive interview with Coming Soon, the actress offered a preview of the dynamic between the two characters:

ComingSoon.net: You said earlier this summer that in "Cap 2" your relationship with Steve Rogers gets more intense. I actually went back and watched "The Avengers" again and noticed these little glances that you and Chris give each other. It's so subtle, not something you would think about unless you knew something was brewing. Was that something that Joss had built in?

Scarlett Johansson: No, actually. Of course in "Avengers" particularly you start to see the relationships forming between these characters, and all of us have very specific relationships with one another. Of course we all know how we feel about one another. We work and all use each other in different ways. We all have very specific opinions about one another. I think that Joss laid the groundwork for a lot of interesting connections. That's why the audiences are so intrigued by that film because they love to see how these characters react to each other that come from completely different universes.

CS: It makes sense, because his character and your character are sort of the most grounded of the superheroes.

Johansson: It does make sense. The pairing is strange on paper, but you'll understand the pairing when you see "Cap 2" and of course Marvel's really good at noticing those connections too! They will continue to build on the different relationships that audiences connect to.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits theaters on April 4, 2014.
