The mighty clique of spunky superheroes is Marvel’s pride and the apple of millions of fans’ eyes all over the world. Such is the charm of the heroic saviors with a wit who call themselves the Avengers.

And who wouldn’t love to see the likes of a sardonic Iron Man (R.I.P. Tony Stark), a too-serious Captain America, a feisty Black Widow, and a fuming giant called Hulk fight against evil? Scarlett Johansson’s biggest supporter, that’s who.
The Avengers Frighten Scarlett Johansson’s Daughter
Having Black Widow for a mom is not the problem. It’s the band of miscreants (ironic, yes, but let’s assume they’re the good kind) that inevitably follow Natasha Romanoff that scares Scarlett Johansson‘s 9-year-old daughter, Rose.
Talking to PEOPLE magazine for this week’s issue, the MCU actress revealed that her daughter – whom Johansson, 39, shares with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac – finds the otherwise beloved Avengers too “violent” to be able to enjoy her mother’s superhero ventures.

She likes that I play Black Widow, but she’s too scared to watch an Avengers movie. She’s just like, ‘It’s violent.’ I’m like, ‘Oh God.’
While the Avengers remain a household name cherished by perhaps the entirety of the fandom, it’s not too far-fetched that a kid can’t stand all the bloody mess that inexorably occurs in the wake of the knight in shining armors swooping in to save the day.
On the plus side, however, Johansson’s child is very much excited to see her Oscar-nominated mom in her latest film with Channing Tatum, Fly Me to the Moon. “I think she’s excited about the hair and makeup mostly,” the Lucy star said. “It’s just so fun… She’s girly.”

The Black Widow star may be a ruthless, crime-fighting superhero on the screens, but fortunately enough, she’s just a loving and caring mother at home.
In a 2021 interview with PEOPLE, Johansson, after being honored with the American Cinematheque Award, told the magazine how she’s grateful for being “just mom” to her family despite winning a lifetime achievement accolade at the ceremony. But there’s an exception to that too.

Thankfully [to] everybody just at home, I’m just mom. [But] sometimes [I’m] the Black Widow when it’s convenient for my daughter, when she’s going to get something out of it.
Besides Rose, Johansson also shares a 2-year-old son, Cosmo, with her husband, Colin Jost who is a renowned comedian and a long-time co-anchor of Weekend Update.
Johansson’s space rom-com Fly Me to the Moon is currently running in theatres. Meanwhile, you can stream The Avengers on Disney+.
