I caught up with Johansson while she was promoting “Avengers: Endgame” for the first episode of Variety and iHeartMedia’s new film podcast, “The Big Ticket,” hosted by yours truly.
She still hadn’t seen “Endgame” — the 22nd MCU movie — when we talked. “One thing I can say is that my hope is … this is a cathartic experience for the audience,” Johansson said. “I hope that it has a bittersweet, satisfying feeling for people.”
And despite the movie’s three-hour-and-one-minute runtime, Johansson thinks moviegoers won’t have any problems…
