Scarlett Johansson has described Joss Whedon as a 'fanboy' and believes that he will protect the Marvel franchise with new movie The Avengers.
Johansson will reprise the role of Black Widow, which we saw for the first time in Iron Man 2 last year, for the ensemble movie.
Whedon is in the director's chair for the film while Robert Downey Jr, Samuel L Jackson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo are all on the cast list.
Speaking to MTV the actress said: "Joss is a fanboy. I think that Joss is going to protect the franchise by staying true to the characters' integrity."
Johansson also revealed that working with Whedon was completely different to working with Jon Favreau on Iron Man 2.
"I think Jon Favreau is such a different director from Joss Whedon. The flavour is different, their fingerprints are different; they just have a different way of storytelling - same with Ken Branagh."
The Avengers is released May 2012.
