 The Hollywood actress will reprise her role as the Black
Widow in "Captain America: Civil War", due for release in 2016,
alongside her "Avengers" co-stars Chris Evans and Robert Downey
Jr.
"I can't elaborate too much on it," Johansson told Reuters at
the European premiere of "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" in London
on Tuesday night.
"But as the scope of these movies is larger and larger and the
danger kind of looms larger and larger, I don't want to say that
the film has a darker tone, but the film has a darker tone and I
think it's maturing along with the fans."
Johansson was among a star-studded line-up at the London
premiere of the "The Avengers" sequel, which drew hundreds of
screaming fans, some of them dressed up as their favorite Marvel
comics superheroes.
Alongside Johansson, Downey Jr (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Chris
Hemsworth (Thor), Evans (Captain America) and Mark Ruffalo (The
Hulk) walked the black carpet at the packed Westfield shopping
center.
"The Avengers" was the fastest film to pass the $1 billion mark
in box office takings when it was released in 2012.
The sequel's plot sees Tony Stark try to jumpstart a
peacekeeping program, but things go badly wrong and the
superheroes have to stop villain Ultron's destructive plans.

Johansson, who was pregnant during production, said she felt an
emotional connection to her character who reveals in the film that
she was forcibly sterilized.
"When you have something (and) you can imagine not having it, I
think it added a different kind of dynamic that I would never have
expected, but it was certainly helpful, yes," she said.
When asked about the more fragile side of The Hulk that is revealed
in the film, Ruffalo said: "Yes, I like that aspect of it and
finally the technology is at a place where we can start to really
imbue the Hulk stuff with real performance".
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is released in Britain on April 23 and the
United States on May 1.
