After wrapping up filming for the Black Widow prequel in London, Scarlett hinted that the highly anticipated film will hit theaters on May 1, 2020.
Actress Scarlett Johannson made an appearance on a chat show recently, where she discussed her upcoming Black Widow movie and two other film projects. The New York City native shared that filming Black Widow was a healing experience for her, especially after dealing with her character’s death.

Despite some fans not wanting to accept her character’s fate, Scarlett reiterated that death is final and her character is not in an alternate universe.

Before that, Scarlett participated in a round of True Confessions with Jimmy and Pete Buttigieg. They took turns sharing personal statements, inviting the others to guess if they were fact or fiction by asking probing questions.
One of Scarlett’s revelations was, “I once got stung by a jellyfish on my face during a swim in Italy.”

Jimmy recounted a time when he performed the Heimlich maneuver on Jerry Seinfeld at a wine tasting event in the Hamptons while they were both supporting charity causes. His story seemed plausible, leaving Scarlett unsure of whether to trust his account.
