I was shocked when I first read about Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans sharing a kiss in the next Captain America movie!
First of all, I’m a big supporter of the Black Widow (played by Scarlett) and Hawkeye (played by Jeremy Renner) love team, so I was a bit bummed that Natasha Romanoff would kiss Captain America. Second, comic fans are still sad about Steve and Peggy’s unrequited love during the first Captain America movie!

Comic Connections and Past Collaborations
Yes, fashion bloggers can also double as comic nerds. Anyway, Chris was quick to clear things up.
“She was a kid. She was like 16 or 17 years old,” Evans said in an interview at Comic-Con about meeting Scarlett for the first time. “I’ve known her for over a decade now, so she’s like my sister. We have this little kiss scene. It will all make sense in the movie.”
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Chris Evans’ Captain America share a kiss, but it’s far from a romantic gesture. While on the run from Hydra agents, Black Widow strategically uses the kiss as a distraction to hide a data transfer.
Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans co-starred in The Perfect Score (2004), a teen comedy-heist film directed by Brian Robbins. In it, they play students scheming to steal SAT answers. They teamed up again in The Nanny Diaries (2007), with Johansson as Annie, a recent college graduate who becomes a nanny for a wealthy, dysfunctional New York family.

Confronting challenges like a spoiled child and demanding employer Mrs. X, Annie finds solace in her romance with a neighbor called “Harvard Hottie,” played by Chris Evans. The film addresses themes of class, ambition, and self-discovery.
Marvel Stars Shine at Comic-Con
Scarlett and Chris represented the Marvel Universe at the 2013 Comic-Con in San Diego, California. A few Marvel movies, including sequels to Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers, are coming up in the next two years.

Meanwhile, latex-wearing Natasha Romanoff was seemingly out of character in a bright floral dress from the Versace Resort 2014 Collection:

We love how Scarlett broke free of the usual black/red/white ensembles seen at the Comic-Con!

This Versace dress fit her sultry figure well, although we’re not too keen on the black pointed pumps she wore; maybe she should wear a pair of nude heels next time?
Her outfit was complemented by long, tousled waves and dark, smokey eye makeup, which enhanced the overall sultriness.
