'Lucy' actress Scarlett Johansson revealed in a recent interview what makes her character Black Widow so different than the other Marvel superheroes in the upcoming 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' film.

"Oh, man... I think her greatest attribute is that she's -- I don't want to say she has a criminal mind, but she does in a way," said Johansson to IGN, "She's a super spy. Her ability to understand the complexity of the criminal mind, she uses that to her advantage. She's often the one that's going, 'Right, you think it's this way, but if you think about it from this person's perspective, this might be the answer.'"

The 29-year-old New Yorker further expressed her feelings about her role in the future blockbuster film.

"She's always using her experience in her sordid past to her advantage. I don't think there's any super suit that could supersede that for her. I think what she lends to the team -- she let's everyone else play with their big toys. And she gets some pretty good toys too, especially in Avengers 2 -- I can't complain," said Johansson.

She also mentions why she believes her character is in good hands with film director Joss Whedon returning to the helm.

"Of course in Avengers 2, it's very much a continuation, a maturation, of this universe, of this reality," the actress said. "It's not a sequel in the sense that it feels like a rehash. 'Hey, remember this old thing you loved in the first one? There's even more in the second!' It's nothing like that. Joss has lived with these characters now for a couple of years, and he is, as you can imagine, obsessed and tirelessly worked to help these characters evolve. Of course, I'm very fortunate that Joss has an affection for female characters in the work that he writes, and an understanding of them. To me, the Widow is a part of Joss," said Johansson.

She also hinted that Black Widow will have bigger role in the forthcoming film after the events that occurred in the 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' movie.

"At this stage, when you see the Widow, she's -- especially in Avengers, these characters all have a past, and hers is a very complex one, where she's realizing -- and it's kind of a continuation of Cap 2 -- 'I've never made an active choice. I'm a product of other people's imposition.' That's going to catch up with her. That's bound to have a huge effect. There's got to be a result of that realization. I think that in Avengers 2 you'll see that. You'll see her actively making some choices in her life, for better or worse. You know, when she splashes, the wave is big -- all these characters have that effect. So it'll be interesting to see what the audience thinks of what kind of wave we're sending their way," said Johansson.

Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Incredible Hulk), James Spader (Ultron), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlett Witch), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) are among the numerous actors set to appear in the movie when the blockbuster series returns on May 1, 2015.
