During an interview that covered topics from her personal life to her recent turn as the AI Samantha in Spike Jonze's film Her, Scarlett Johansson -- who plays Black Widow in the Marvel films -- gave Parade an idea of what to expect from Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

"Joss [Whedon], again, is back, wrote the script, and is directing," Johansson said. "I think the script is dark and it’s dry, it’s got this amazing one-liner, glass-cutting sense of humor. Obviously the script is very cerebral. It doesn’t lose that exciting comic book aspect that people enjoyed in the first film, but it’s smart and it feels like the next installment. It doesn’t feel like a rehashing, it feels like these characters are moving forward, plotlines are moving forward. It’s deep and I think that’s why people really respond to the Marvel universe, because the films are fun and exciting and have all that flashy stuff, but there’s a gravity to them. People can expect that gravity this time around.”
