Scarlett Johansson Opens Up On Performing Stunts In Avengers
During an interview with the media outlet Success in 2012, Scarlett Johansson spoke about Avengers and even revealed about going through a tough time with respect to filming action stunts for the movie. She said-
“All you had to do was look at our second assistant director to know it was a giant production because he was tearing his eyeballs out.”
While talking about the action scenes, Johansson mentioned that the stunt work was exhausting and learning the choreography of the fight scenes was one of the most painful parts of filming Avengers. She said-
“I have to say—doing the stunt work—it’s not the day you’re shooting that’s most difficult. It’s all the hours you spend learning it. Once you’re shooting it, it’s definitely exhausting because of the repetition, but you’ve already gone through the most painful part of the process, which is learning the choreography of the fights.”
She further added-
“Especially because you have a tight timeframe to learn everything. If you’re lagging or there are things, you’re unsure of, you just beat it into the ground until you get it. You have no choice.”
The Joss Whedon-directed Avengers went on to amass a massive box office collection of $1.5 billion against a production budget of $220 million-$225 million. With an IMDb rating of 8 out of 10, Avengers can be streamed on Prime Video.
