Scarlett Johansson<\/strong><\/a> has opened up about her favorite character in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a>, and the answer should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n Who did Scarlett Johansson say was her favorite current MCU character?<\/p>\n Speaking to Esquire UK at the premiere of her upcoming movie Jurassic World Rebirth, Johansson was asked if she has a current favorite MCU character. Sticking to her character, Natasha Romanoff, Johansson revealed that she had no choice but to say Yelena, Romanoff\u2019s sister, who is played by Florence Pugh.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, I have to say Yelena is my favorite, of course,\u201d Johansson said in the video (below).<\/p>\n Johansson spent over a decade playing the character Black Widow in the MCU, eventually bidding farewell to her in 2019\u2019s Avengers: Endgame. Although fans may want her back, Johansson opened up earlier this month about why the character can\u2019t return after her death in Endgame<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would be very hard for me to understand in what capacity [returning] would make sense for me, for the character that I play,\u201d Johansson said. \u201cI 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\u2019t want to mess with that. For fans, too\u2014it\u2019s important for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
