Scarlett Johansson Slams Oscars for Ignoring Avengers: Endgame: 'An Impossible Film'
Actress Scarlett Johansson, with two Academy Award nominations to her name, remains puzzled as to why "Avengers: Endgame," in which she portrayed Black Widow, didn't secure more than its single nomination for visual effects.
"How did this film not get nominated for an Oscar?" Johansson questioned during a recent interview with Vanity Fair, reflecting on the 2019 Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster. "It was an impossible movie that should not have worked, yet it really works as a film—and also, it's one of the most successful films of all time."
"Avengers: Endgame" is widely regarded as one of the finest entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years. However, the Academy has historically been reluctant to bestow top honors, such as those in acting and directing categories, on superhero films. The only Marvel movie to break this trend so far is 2018's "Black Panther." Johansson's portrayal of Natasha Romanoff, from her debut in 2010's "Iron Man" to her poignant exit in "Endgame," was undoubtedly worthy of recognition.Despite this, Johansson shared with Vanity Fair her doubts about returning to the MCU. "It would be very hard for me to understand in what capacity [returning] would make sense for me, for the character that I play," she stated.

"I miss my buddies and really would love to be with them forever, but what works about the character is that her story is complete. I don’t want to mess with that. For fans, too—it’s important for them."
Following Black Widow's demise in "Endgame," Johansson reprised her role as Romanoff in the 2021 prequel, "Black Widow," which she also executive produced.
