Academy Award-nominated actress Scarlett Johansson remains perplexed over *Avengers: Endgame’s* single Oscar nod for Visual Effects, despite its monumental success and critical acclaim. In a recent interview with *Vanity Fair*, she expressed surprise at the film’s limited recognition. "How did this film not get nominated for an Oscar?" she questioned, referring to the 2019 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) blockbuster where she played Black Widow. "It was an impossible movie that should not have worked, yet it does as a film—and it’s one of the most successful movies ever made."
*Avengers: Endgame* is widely regarded as one of the MCU's standout entries. However, the Academy Awards have historically shied away from honoring genre films like superhero flicks in major categories such as acting and directing. To date, the sole Marvel film to receive an Oscar nod is 2018’s *Black Panther*. Despite this, Johansson's portrayal of Natasha Romanoff consistently stood out, from her debut in 2008’s *Iron Man* to her poignant demise in *Endgame*.
Johansson also revealed to *Vanity Fair* that reprising the role would be unlikely. "It would be very hard for me to understand in what capacity returning would make sense for me," she stated. "The character’s story feels complete, and I wouldn’t want to disrupt that—not for myself, nor for the fans who cherish her journey."
Even so, fans were treated to one final chapter in Romanoff’s saga. Johansson reprised her role in *Black Widow*, the 2021 prequel film she also executive produced. Although her character met her end in *Endgame*, the standalone film offered fans closure and a deeper dive into Romanoff’s past.
