With the Infinity Saga: Collector's Edition Box Set on sale, fans have been looking for all kinds of details in the bonus materials that give us additional insight into the making of Marvel Studios productions. An unpublished image proves that Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) filmed some scenes while she was pregnant for Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).

The image shared by the user Teatreevelvet on Reddit corresponds to the final scene of the sequel written and directed by Joss Whedon, where Steve Rogers / Captain America and Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow talk about the new candidates to join The Avengers, after the apparent Tony Stark/Iron Man's retirement and Thor's return to Asgard.

Despite the fact that Natasha Romanoff's inability to procreate, as a result of the last ritual of her training as an assassin in the Red Room, was part of a controversial subplot of the character in Avengers: Age of Ultron; In real life, the New York actress was expecting her first daughter: Rose Dorothy Duariac, the product of her second marriage to the French journalist Romain Dauriac.

The production of La Casa de las Ideas used all kinds of tricks to hide Scarlett Johansson's pregnancy. In addition to the use of CGI, the shooting included three risk doubles in charge of filming multiple scenes of the interpreter beyond the action sequences. In the same way, close-ups of her face were chosen, as well as alterations to the makeup and lighting to ensure that the changes could not be noticed.

Scarlett Johansson will soon star in the first solo Black Widow film, directed by Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome) with a rewritten script by Ned Benson (The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby). The cast also includes Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova; Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostokoff; David Harbor as Alexei Shostakov / the Red Guardian; O-T Fagbenle as Rick Mason; and William Hurt as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross.
