Watch Scar-Jo Whup Some Ass in First Clip from ‘The Avengers’
Let me put you on hold. Marvel has premiered the first clip from their upcoming superhero movie The Avengers and it features Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) using some good old martial arts and a prop chair to bring mayhem on some poor Russian saps who thought they had “captured” her.
Ok that’s some pretty cool stunt work and that nonchalant tone of hers could easily have been from something like Buffy: Vampire Slayer. Who needs superpowers right? In any case, watch the clip below and let us know what you think. Can you believe the movie is only one month away!
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”–the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble in summer 2012. In “Marvel’s The Avengers,” superheroes team up to pull the world back from the brink of disaster when an unexpected enemy threatens global security.

Good times! And yes, totally Buffy!
I almost expected SMG to join in on the fight!
Looks great. I’m so there on Opening Day. Although, that flip-and-break-the-chair-on-an-opponent-to-free-yourself move is starting to get a little old
.
Yea, it’s starting to get there where we’ve seen it a few too many times.
That is some flat out badassery right there.
Very cool. Totally entertaining. A great sign, I think.
The only thing missing is some “wardrobe malfunction” ahah
LOL… I could get into some of that!
I might settle for her in some skintight leather though…
Um, that was awesome. Very badass.
You are too easily impressed, dear.
That has Whedon written all over it. If he’s allowed that much freedom throughout the entire film, I’m not sure how this one can fail.
I’m sure he does. Or he would go all Buffy on the producers
Oddly enough I wanted more! At least the stunt person actually looks like her this go around. I remember watching Iron Man 2 and laughing at her action sequences.
I still expect to see her give a long pause and the camera zooming on her face after she is done with these baddies!
Scarlett despises and HATES the nickname Scar-Jo. That’s why she’s so angry in this clip and beating down fools.
Oh she hates it?? I’ll be calling her Scar-Jo every single time then
I can attest. I’m writing this comment from my hospital bed…
SCAR-JO! SCAR-JO! SCAR-JO! SCAR-JO! SCAR-JO STUNNA! ONE MORE TIME, ONE MORE TIME!!!!
Someone give Steven a chillax pill, he is a little bit scary today.
Sorry, I’ve just been marking out lately as a pro wrestling fan.
Don’t make me give you a rock bottom and cap it off with the People’s Elbow, Nature Boy Style! WOO!!!!
What, she didn’t strike a pose after she knocked down the bad guys like she did in Iron Man 2? I’m gonna have to pass on this then.
Just kidding, Scar-Jo looks yummy in that scene.
That’s because the clip ended before she was done!
I generally don’t care for Scarlett; I find her a little too unemotive. But I think it really works for her in this scene.
Yea she has quite an understated style, to put it kindly.
I think I just soiled myself
Awwwww MAN! I have to clean this up now!!!
I didn’t care so much for Scar-Jo’s Black Widow, but I’m warming up to her. Joss Whedon + strong female characters = win to me!
Yea I actually could care less whether she is in the movie but since she is in, she might as well entertain us
These bad guys need to take Bad Guys 101 again. Who the heck doesn’t tie the hostage feet to the chair? Pffff.
Why tie the hostage’s feet to the chair when she can rise the chair off the floor and slip the knots under to free herself?
Although I have never been tied to a chair myself, I have a hard time imagining how you can rise the chair off the floor if both your feet are tied to the chair? She could maybe hop a couple centimeters up. Moreover, you tie your knots tight and use a chair with a larger circumference at the end duh
In retrospect, there is a solution to everything. But sadly for you, I already killed you with that wrench your colleague was threatening me with.
In the real world, you would have been shot dead on the spot, not attacked by some dude with a wrench (of all the things they could be holding).
Awesome. Clark Gregg just being Clark Gregg. Also: boobs.
Errrr I really want to like this clip more! The setup and everything was great but that little hair flip / hit maneuver she does kind of kills it. Black Widow is one of the biggest reasons I’m excited to see The Avenger so maybe I was expecting a little more. But after her awesome scene in Iron Man 2 I’m really looking forward to what she can do.
