Why is Scarlett Johansson leaving Marvel? Was it her decision or Disney's?

Well lets see . . .

 

Disney is ready to move on and wants Yelena Belova to become the new Black Widow , just like we saw in the comics.



And it seems like Johansson is OK with the idea of leaving.

Scarlett Johansson and director Cate Shortland recently spoke with The Gentlewoman.

Shortland revealed that Black Widow was possibly Johansson's last film as The Black Widow. The idea of finality for Johansson as this character contributed to the making of the film, according to Shortland :


“She really pushed to make something that wasn’t flimsy or superficial. She wanted to make something that meant a lot to young people and to women. And she knew it was possibly her last film as Black Widow – she didn’t want to leave Marvel making a feel-good movie.”


Johansson herself added that the experience of doing her own solo film was "exposing":

“She’s always been a part of something bigger than herself, and now that’s all gone. Yeah, it was exposing. But it was time, you know?"

In every way, it's better to leave a situation when you're on top

-Scarlett Johansson


It may have not been her decision to ultimately Scarlett seems to be at peace with it.

This will be her final story with Johansson preparing to wave proshchay ('farewell' in Russia) to the cinematic universe she's been part of for over a decade.


"Its's definitely bittersweet because I love my Marvel family"
she says. "I am never going to be ready to not be a part of it. They'll always be family."

"I'll never feel ready to not ben in it, because I hate to feel like I'm missing out on stuff with them. And who knows? Maybe at some point, we'll have some opportunity to collaborate in some other kind of way."


It sounds like both sides are ready to move on but there may be a future again for Natasha Romanoff.

In my opinion, their decision is mutual.
