Why Black Widow is a Fantastic Role Model | CBR

Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson explained why she feels the veteran Avenger is a great role model for children, specifically young girls.

"One of her most admirable attributes is that she's not afraid to admit when she's wrong," Johansson told Fatherly. "She takes responsibility for things, particularly in this film. She's really coming to terms with her past in a way that is very, very mindful, very thoughtful, and considerate and mindful."

Johansson added that she thinks Black Widow is "someone who has a lot of respect for other people," and that she "has a lot of integrity as a person," which the actor thinks "makes her a great role model for children and certainly for young girls."

Johansson concluded, "She acknowledges the pain that she's caused or just that someone else has actually experienced pain. That's really powerful to say: I see that you're hurting. That's such a huge step for a person to make. It's something I try to teach my daughter. It's complicated, of course, when kids are little, but she's a compassionate person."
