The way that MCU movies framed Black Widow back in the days of Iron Man 2 and Marvel's The Avengers and the way we look at her now, a decade later, are very different. With Black Widow less than a month away, star Scarlett Johansson is looking back at the character's evolution in a new interview with Collider.

"You look back at Iron Man 2 and while it was really fun and had a lot of great moments in it, the character is so sexualized, you know?" Johansson said. "Really talked about like she's a piece of something, like a possession or a thing or whatever, like a piece of ass, really. And even Tony refers to her as something like that at one point."

"[Tony] at one point calls her a piece of meat and maybe at that time that actually felt like a compliment. Because my thinking was different," Johansson continued. "Now people, young girls, are getting a much more positive message, but it's been incredible to be a part of that shift and be able to come out the other side and be a part of that old story, but also progress, evolve. I think it's pretty cool."
