Scarlett Johansson thinks her striking good looks are a "by-product of being curvy." The Avengers actress - who plays spy Black Widow the superhero movie - finds her own sexuality "boring" and she tries not to think about it.

"I think that's just a by-product of being curvy. I never think about it, except when I get constant questions in interviews about sexuality. I really have nothing to say about any of that stuff because it's so boring," she said when asked how she feels about her looks.

Scarlett had to wear a skin-tight catsuit to portray Black Widow role in the Marvel film, but she preferred to explore her character's "dark past" than her alter-ego's sexual power.

"A lot of the time these superheroine characters are relying on their sexuality and being posy and sexy as opposed to being a bada**. Those characters are so silly and I don't have anything to contribute to that. But my character, Black Widow, has this dark past, so why not celebrate that? When I met with Marvel they agreed that there's not really been a good female superhero movie and they wanted to get away from that overly sexy superheroine thing," she added to The Daily Mirror.
