Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow to get Avengers tie-in
Scarlett Johansson Fans waiting for The Avengers movie will be able to see more of the Black Widow after Marvel announced the release of a comic book mini-series.
The comics are described as 'an espionage thriller, giving readers their first full view of how lethal Black Widow can be.'
Marvel released a similar comic prequel to last year's Captain America: The First Avenger and writer Fred Van Lente said the comic books fit in well with Marvel's Cinematic Universe.
He said: "Black Widow is running down some loose ends from Iron Man 2, namely some bootleg Stark technology that Justin Hammer made. It's her and Agent Coulson going into Russia, but you'll also probably see Nick Fury and the other heroes.
"I took my inspiration for this series from Joss Whedon’s script, which I was lucky enough to read. He does a good job making her inclusion on the team perfectly believable.
"Its fun, and I think, more importantly, it works to get people who aren’t necessarily comic fans to read comics, and hopefully good comics. These are here to make a direct connection from the Marvel movies and the medium that inspired them."
The Avengers movie is released on April 26.
