Having effortlessly transitioned into acting, Fouzia's debut film swiftly captured global acclaim, earning accolades at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival
Pugh, the star of films such as Little Women and Midsommar, plays the role of Yelena, Natasha's sister, in the Cate Shortland-directed movie.
During an interview with Total Film, Johansson was asked about her view on the idea of Pugh's Yelena taking over the mantle of Black Widow from Natasha.
"I definitely felt that way from the very beginning. She stands completely on her own. She's strong and different. She's so different to Natasha. You also see the generational difference, too, in how they react to things, and what they're careful about, or what they're careless about," the 35-year-old actor said.
"It's so fresh, what she does. It's very representative, also, of who she is as a person. She's unapologetic, and confident in herself, and curious, and brave, and emotionally brave - far more than I ever was. And that stuff all comes through. It's wonderful to feel like you're witnessing something great happening," she added.
Pugh said she hasn't thought about the possibility of Yelena becoming the new Black Widow as she is still enjoying the moment that she is starring in Marvel movie.
"If you get asked to be in a Marvel film, and it was so thrilling and fun and exciting to be in, then of course, your head goes: 'Oh my God. If this is what it's like, then what else is next?' If that happens and I am lucky enough that people appreciate my character, that's an exciting road to go on. I would be silly to not be excited by it. I think that being part of the Marvel club is a great honour. But we'll just see if people like Yelena first," the actor said.
Black Widow is expected to release worldwide in November.
