[@ilaydaile]

tbh i think josh might be one of the best interviewers out there

[@regularsubb2037]

I'd love to see him do an episode of Hot Wings. Would love to see him go up against Sean

[@ilaydaile]

@@regularsubb2037 omg yeees ur so right i would love to see that

[@shira1003]

Yes! Josh and Ali from BBC are the best!

[@MelanieJeanneSchons]

@@shira1003 I was going to say Josh and Ali are amazing.

[@ilaydaile]

@@shira1003 totally, love them both

[@mr.counterpoint1862]

Oh I definitely want a sequel. Black Widow isn’t dead. She’s got a trilogy in her. More Scarlet Johansson and Florence Pugh stat! The people demand it!

[@rj-hg1kq]

josh is so cool, he literally knows everything about marvel, knows all the actors so well by now and is just able to keep up an amazing conversation all throughout the interview

[@jenniferwbu]

Just watched the film and it was great!!!!! Missing Nat already and I love Yelena!!!! Post credit scene had me screaming lol

[@pqllen4114]

Right! Clint better watch out

[@anushajain8198]

It had me crying

Best movie!

@m_010 YOU BET SHE IS ✨

[@xxcris20xx]

The way Scarlett looks at Florence too. Like she is the most precious thing in the world. 😭

[@mdy682]

its sad that we finally got a nat and yelena funny/badass duo but only lasted for almost 2hrs. i want more of them 😭😭

[@jasiriarendse-hutson7794]

Bro at the end I was waiting for a whistle back 😭

[@hannahg.3856]

Me toooooo

[@jasonpineo5710]

Same …

[@uwaafolabi6126]

so was i we all were

[@fiveh3340]

imagine if the pandemic didn't exist. We could've gotten these two touring together to promote the movie.

[@xxcris20xx]

Their relationship is so beautiful and cute! Btw the movie was so great! I wanted Nat and Yelena together in another Marvel movie. :(

[@65g4]

I love Florence Pugh shes so adorable

[@elisam.2896]

omg love that that's how the pose/posing stuff made it into the movie 😂. that's such a sibling thing too. absolutely excellent 😍.

[@alexandra-eg3ku]

I remember josh interviewing Jennifer Lawrence and you could tell she didn’t look the tiniest bit uncomfortable and she really enjoyed herself. Josh is the best and is the sweetest man in earth

[@forscythejones8525]

Wow the fact that Scarlett was willing to make a Black Widow movie back in Avengers 1 is kinda nuts. But at least now they're making progress with female led MCU projects like Cap Marvel and WandaVision.

[@Mtab2260]

If you want a female lead show, watch Agents of SHIELD- Marvels first tv show. Or even Agent Carter.

[@lexb.5095]

I have a feeling if they made a Black Widow back then it would not be the same amount of greatness. 1. florence was like 12 2. natasha was not really developed as a character

[@honorisalive]

‘Penguin hands’ 😂😂

[@fiveh3340]

Scarlett being happy for everyone 🥺

[@user-vo1yu6hb1v]

4:42 Thor don't even know how land without breaking the ground "that man no regard for lawn maintenance"

[@jazzcchew]

All the Avengers: *land and proceed to break bones or die* Yelena: I TOLD YOU THAT WOULD HAPPEN

[@dihboas]

i am here for Scarlet calling Elizabeth Olsen “Lizzie” ✨😍 sooooo cute ♥️

[@Rodentanimatorz]

"as far as i know, florence, this is your debut in running away from an explosion" I'm no explosivologist but I'm pretty sure the ending of Midsommar counts

[@lexb.5095]

LMAO

[@ShanuIrshad]

Scarlett is still mad at Hemsworth for calling her dumb in that BBC insult show 🤣🤣

[@becidju]

The post ending credit scene is really mind blowing

[@IamRocque]

Definitely

[@user-vo1yu6hb1v]

5:31 Florence is like such adorable 5 year old kid

[@mateusmennabarreto8593]

Love Florence and Scarlett and Josh is a really good interviewer

[@glennahughes902]

SJ should produce more movies. Looks and brains. She new it was time to end it. Great intuition.

[@IamRocque]

Definitely

[@rubberducky4074]

If they make more Widow movies with Florence I hope Scarlett stays on as producer, it would be so cool.

[@izysanddy7152]

I just love Josh Horowitz, does his homework, actually watch the film and genuinely enjoy the conversation with the actors. Keep up the good work Josh!

[@user-vo1yu6hb1v]

Her sweater look so comfy

[@cynthiazhang]

Who else googled "Flossie Rose" immediately after this interview?

[@xxcris20xx]

Not me because I already knew Florence can sing. 😍

[@rj-hg1kq]

I CRIED SO MUCH AND I MISS NAT

[@paiwanhan]

The Black Widow moving is actually more emotionally effective being released after End Game. Being able to mend the relationship with her past family is the key for her to take the driver's seat and rescues her present family, which leads to Black Widow assuming leadership post Infinity War. It also is what gives her the inner strength to willingly go on Vormir.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

That final scene (SPOILER ALERT (but also not exactly a spoiler alert bc we already know what happens to Natasha)) where Yelena visits Nat's grave made me emotional. At the same time, I'm wondering how she's incorporated into Hawkeye's storyline.

[@leannemaposa6784]

Depends on the comic they chose to base the movie on. She could continue black widow in memory of Nat or become the white widow and join the thunderbolts which might be a new movie

[@alexbravo7683]

What if Kang the Conqueror faced the avengers with Yelena now on the team, and he brought something for her... Natasha's body. 😭

[@holychaos5398]

That Would Be so Sad but epic at the same time

[@rj-hg1kq]

oh my god, yes please, i‘d cry my eyes out

[@steelsheen]

Scarlet, remember the key phrase: Lokiverse Alternate Timelines. Loki just gave us a legit backdoor to being able to bring anybody back from the dead, different versions of characters... it's FREE REAL ESTATE from here on out 😁👍. Hiddleston also thought he was done.... until he wasn't and is still going 😏

[@currentaffairsmusic]

Yeah… but in that sense it means nothing has any meaning or weight behind it, part of the story is the end and all that, if the movies become the comics where nobody can die then all consequence is lost and the quality along with it

[@HellAtlantic]

Nope. That character is done. Unless they wanna make her a street level character like Daredevil, Punisher or Iron Fist. Can’t have a non-powered person fighting alongside say Capt Marvel or other powered heroes. Yes I know in comics BW has taken super soldier serum but in MCU she’s just a regular person and Marvel is now cosmic and interstellar.

[@mekkoriggs6222]

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@dorianr4770]

I now want to see realistic landing poses and want to know Scarlett Johansson's existential movie idea.

[@BombshElle_7]

Ok. Hair, lips, eyes: Josh is giving me Dr. Mike vibes.

[@diegstroX8032]

Awesome pair

[@juliebattaglia3794]

why do I think that Scarlett and Florance where very close friends in set and now the're like just people who worked together once

[@fiveh3340]

I think it's because they're doing this virtually. Pretty sure if they had real-life interviews, their chemistry will shine better. Plus, I'm pretty sure most working experiences feel like a "summer camp": something magical, but once it's over, it's hard to rekindle that same flame.

[@currentaffairsmusic]

The whole summer camp point is spot on, unless you really do ‘click’ with someone, life moves on and more films get made

[@fiveh3340]

@@currentaffairsmusic Yep. Some people make friends for life, but both Scarlett and Florence are VERY successful actresses starring in several successful films, so unless they're forced to meet each other occasionally (like the OG6 Avengers coming back together almost every year), they'd just have to move on. Not to say they don't love each other though because it's obvious that Scarlett adores Florence and Florence adores Scarlett

[@orgeebaharvin6284]

This was a fantastic movie!

[@curly2x325]

Tbh she should take on the legacie of black widow cs it’s her sister in the movie she should go the the present and make a sad since finding out Natasha died and she said take on the role of black widow

[@latifzaman830]

i wish the whole army of freed black widows will join the big battle with Avengers later

[@IamRocque]

They will probably play a big role in the future now that they are freed.

[@Grymm23]

Can someone sneak Jodie Comer's Villanelle/Oksana Astankova character, from Killing Eve, into the back of a scene?

[@ranzudezuLRTC]

I love them so much and btw Florence really reminds me of Maja Salvador (kinda) lol XD

[@dorianr4770]

I did love Yelena's character.

[@Idkanymorelol.]

I like Josh he’s cool

[@archer_root]

6:48 That’s it. A Yelena who waltzes around casually is the natural creature we saw engage-recon Katie Bishop. That lady is insanely terrifying because, like Heath Ledger’s Joker, she is abrupt. Excuse me, while I free fall backwards into rappel. And let’s see Nora Lum as a deadly-serious ultraviolent warlord in NBC’s Endgame.

[@lichaelvillanueva1378]

hawkeye spoiler

[@hustonbrice8654]

Hi mtv

[@gonzogil123]

1:28min "Finally" that was a ton of begging.

[@eddiegreencheez]

They need to get Florence Pugh and Emilia Clarke together in one of these videos

[@NanakerKatakan]

"I don't if we're gonna see the Widow again".... See u in court..disney...

[@tommieboi707]

They made the black widow movie just to pass the torch.

[@inzagee6216]

yeah but like all the characters, they'll pass on the torch. There will be another ironman in our lifetime, just like how theres a new captain america already out (falcon), there will be a new loki (female loki) just like there will be a new black widow (yelena), Actors and actress can't live in the marvel universe forever and at some point they'll have to recast. I just love that instead of recasting, they somehow tie the old character with the new. This way the old character still lives on. Unlike the spiderman where they just recasted the actors over and over and the universe is not connected. I'd rather them passing on the torch instead of recasting the character if that makes sense.

[@dorianr4770]

I do think the movie was hurt by poor timing. Nothing to do with the actors at all. It probably should have been released before Infinity War. Or before Ragnorak, where it chronologically would have fit.

[@dttruman]

Is Black Widow character finished? I don't think so, it's too early to decide. There are so many Marvel movies coming out in the nest 2-3 years, it would just be flooding the market with too many of them if they made another Black Widow movie. I'd give them 4-5 years to come up with another movie script for a Black Widow movie.

[@bast713]

It might be the last one with Scarlett, but I'm assuming Yelena takes up the mantle. Nat paved the way for that moniker to be viewed in the MCU as a hero.

[@dttruman]

@@bast713 Yelena's sarcasm, cynicism and physical talents makes her a rare jewel as a superhero like Nat and a deserving member to sign on with the Avengers.

[@christianinciarte7545]

No one Florence1:06

[@igorluisdiasdossatos1149]

😅😚😮

[@gonzogil123]

9:28min Uffffffffffffff. That is one way of being punched by the super villan, other-other-raw-them, in the face. Not wanting to pretend as much, as x----->0, does get the other-other-raw them to show who runs things around said places.

[@igorluisdiasdossatos1149]

😀😂

[@timw6596]

Think about this.... Harley Quinn, Deadpool, Red Guardian and Star-Lord all in one movie fighting side by side !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ravishankar6394]

Penguin hands? What does that mean

[@rj-hg1kq]

when he lands, he always does that superhero pose, where he does little penguin hands, he puts them out to the side, i don‘t really know how to explain iz

[@keziamedia]

tony uses the thrusters from his hand to land carefully so he holds his arms to his sides with palms facing down, looking like a penguin hehe🐧🐧

[@gonzogil123]

This is an MTV interview.

[@igorluisdiasdossatos1149]

i didnt know it was directed by a woman cuz all them cake shots were definitely welcomed
