LOS ANGELES, May 6: After a standalone film for Black Widow has been confirmed post �The Avengers�, lead actress Scarlett Johansson says it will be a prequel.The 27-year-old actress, who played the gun-wielding hero in the film, said she and Marvel Studios have �spoken a lot� about developing a film that follows the heroine�s origin in Russia, reported Ace Showbiz.�I love her origin story. I think it�s just such a riveting one. It�s just steeped in history and the richness to shoot in Russia, perhaps... I hope that the fans� voice is loud enough and they want to see a Widow origin story, I know Marvel would be happy to entertain that. We�ve spoken a lot about it,� she said.Johansson also dished on what is the difference between playing Natasha Romanoff in �Iron Man 2� and �Avengers�.�In �Avengers� you see a little bit about how Natasha joined and it�s not that she�s fighting for the greater good of humanity. She was almost salvaged by SHIELD and so she�s loyal to that group, to that agency, but only as sort of paid debt,� she added. (PTI)
