Good news Avengers fans! Scarlett Johansson has confirmed that her pregnancy will not affect the progress of the superhero sequel, Age of Ultron.

The Black Widow star has said that filming is currently “full steam ahead”, with Marvel Studios revealing that the script is unchanged.

“We start shooting in three weeks and I’m stunt training and we’re good to go” Johansson said.

“You know, I think it’s something that is [laughing] hard to talk about, exactly. You know, trying to skirt around your question exactly [laughs] — and, you know, doing a poor job of it. But, you know, like I said, everything is exactly on schedule […] [Laughs] Everything is going just fine. The Black Widow always wins and will continue to.”

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Collider of the star’s pregnancy: “Well my first reaction was I was very happy for her and very excited for her, and my second reaction was we’ve gotta move some pieces on the chess board around schedule-wise.”

The actress is currently promoting her new movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
