And Kevin also felt that way, Kevin Feige, so we have held hands, cried together, laughed together, battled it out and you know carved out this unique place where we find Natasha. And being able to bring Cate Shortland on board to direct it is just like exactly – I could not have imagined a better way to be doing this. So it's awesome."

"The character is Natasha's sister, Yelena. She is a very cool person to play. We've been on it for about a month or so and it's just been the most exhilarating and exciting shoot to be on. And I've been fighting and laughing and hugging Scarlett. And I couldn't have asked for a better film to be working on right now. It's been totally exciting. And also this is my first Comic-Con and I got to be here with Scarlett and David and Rachel and Cate and O-T. It was one of those moments where you're like, in literally 10 hours time, I'm going to think back and wonder if it was real."
(Reporter: "And there's a female Thor and Natalie Portman's in it – what was all that like?")
"I know. So many women that I've looked up to my entire life. I remember watching Natalie Portman when I was tiny and just hoping one day I would be within like talking distance. And I was today. I was on the same stage, which is mental. It's a good time. It's a good time."

And he hasn't acquired the notoriety of someone like Captain America in a way. So yeah, he's got all these interesting character quirks. But he is this big Soviet superhero, this big figure in Soviet comic world. And he's also got tons of surprises to his character, like tons of interesting things about him, secrets. And it's really fun to play."
(Reporter: "Can we hear a little bit of your accent?")
Harbour: "I don't know. I don't want to get it you know, come on I don't - this guy. It's just a lot of grumbling, things like that. I'm working on it. I haven't shot a lot yet."

STORYLINE:
JOHANSSON SAYS SHE 'BATTLED IT OUT' TO MAKE 'BLACK WIDOW' FOR MARVEL
Scarlett Johansson says she "battled it out" to make a "Black Widow" movie for Marvel Studios.
Her character was killed off in the superhero juggernaut "Avengers: Endgame" earlier this year, seemingly permanently. And Johansson said in an interview at Comic-Con on Saturday (20 JULY 2019) that she had made peace with that fate - before negotiating to make a solo film with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.
"For me, even after 'Endgame,' it felt like I was happy to wrap up my part and I felt really good about the work that we did, so the only reason to make this film was if we could elevate the genre in some other way. And Kevin also felt that way, Kevin Feige," Johansson told The Associated Press. "So we have held hands, cried together, laughed together, battled it out and you know carved out this unique place where we find Natasha. And being able to bring Cate Shortland on board to direct it is just like exactly – I could not have imagined a better way to be doing this. So it's awesome."
Johansson is in the middle of production on "Black Widow," and recently announced her engagement to "Saturday Night Live" lead writer Colin Jost.
"It's been great! It's been a really positive, really wonderful year. I feel very, very fortunate and very happy," the 34-year-old actress said.
Rachel Weisz plays a character named Melina Vostokoff in the film - a villain in the Marvel comics, but Weisz was coy about how her big screen version would behave.
"Who says I'm a villain?" Weisz asked. "I can tell you that she's been cycled through the Red Room widow program five times so she is a highly trained spy and assassin, and that she's also deep in some kind of scientific work. That's all I can say."
Florence Pugh plays the sister of Johansson's character in the movie, which is a prequel of sorts, set after the events of "Captain America: Civil War."
"We've been on it for about a month or so and it's just been the most exhilarating and exciting shoot to be on. And I've been fighting and laughing and hugging Scarlett. And I couldn't have asked for a better film to be working on right now," Pugh said.
She said the "Black Widow" story doesn't focus on quote-unquote "strong women."
"No, these women are just – they are them. They are broken, they are raw and from that, they are strong. And watching them combat their history, that has been the most exciting thing for me," she said.
"Stranger Things" star David Harbour plays a character named the Red Guardian.
"He's got all these interesting character quirks. But he is this big Soviet superhero, this big figure in Soviet comic world. And he's also got tons of surprises to his character, like tons of interesting things about him, secrets. And it's really fun to play," Harbour said.
Will "Black Widow," set to be released in May of next year, be the last time audiences will see Black Widow on-screen in the Marvel cinematic universe? The studio president won't say:
"Good question. Not going to answer it," smiled Feige.
