Whereas there used to be some backlash after Thompson's casting used to be announced, as the character used to be white and blonde within the comics, Waititi defended the dedication in an interview with Silly E book Resources.

You get grasp of a chunk a label of her support-story in this film and it isn't pretty. The huge thing with Scarlett is she gets very proper about how she's playing a character and what she's doing with it, so it worked very effectively for the evolution of Shaded Widow.”
And now, at final, Johansson is getting her grasp standalone movie with Shaded Widow hitting theaters in July 2021 after being delayed because of the the coronavirus pandemic.

Nevertheless I belief the notion that of Gash Fury being Sam Jackson would possibly per chance per chance per chance be in actuality relaxing, on story of when Gash Fury used to be re-imagined in The Ultimates (comedian book) they recast him as Sam Jackson, and I belief that that would possibly per chance per chance per chance be a actually correct nod to the viewers,” Jon Favreau explained to EW. “And Kevin [Feige] used to be diagram into it, too.
