Chris Hemsworth: Give Scarlett Johansson Her Own Superhero Movie—Right Now!

Marvel/Disney Enterprises

Move over, Superman! Get out of the way, Iron Man! Scram, Batman!

It's time for a female superhero movie!

But who should it be?

What better place to get some suggestions than at this week's Hollywood premiere of Thor: The Dark World.

"I'd live to see a Black Widow movie," Thor star Chris Hemsworth said, referring to the kick ass S.H.I.E.L.D agent played by Scarlett Johansson in the Avengersmovies. "I think it will [happen]. It has to. We'll rally for it. We'll get it started."

Thor's Loki, Tom Hiddleston, agreed. "That would be amazing," he said. "Scarlett would really bring the thunder on that."

No surprise, but Wonder Woman was also a popular suggestion.

And then there were a couple of unexpected picks. "I think Silver Sable could be really cool," Zachary Levi said. "Unfortunately, there isn't a giant built-in audience for that because Silver Sable was sort of a smaller comic. But I think it could be one that people could really enjoy."

"She-Hulk!" Kat Dennings said. "She-Hulk is pretty amazing.

"There are so many fantastic female superheroes to choose from," she said. "It is time and I'm sure it's already in the pipeline."

Fingers-crossed.

"I would really like to see it happen," Jaimie Alexander said. "I think there's a need for it. I think young women would like to look up to somebody strong and not have the movie dominated by a male character."

Alan Taylor, director of Thor: The Dark World, thinks a female superhero movie is "coming very soon."

He said, "I have two daughters. They love these movies but they should really have someone they could relate to."

Amen.

Scarlett Johansson Named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive for the Second Time in Seven Years

Esquire

Scarlett Johansson is bringing sexy back to the pages of Esquire. The magazine has named the Don Jon star the Sexiest Woman Alive for the second time in seven years, making her the first woman to ever win the title twice. Johansson looks sultry as ever on the November cover, posing in a sheer tank top, a gray bra, silk shorts and high heels.

The 28-year-old beauty first earned the title in 2006, and since then, a lot has changed. Johansson married and divorced Ryan Reynolds; won a Tony Award for her performance in A View from the Bridge; costarred in the third highest-grossing movie of all-time, The Avengers; and got engaged to ad exec Romain Dauriac.

Johansson maintains a sense of humor about her Esquire honor, telling the mag, "I'm the only woman to win twice right? You know, I gotta hustle. I'm a 28-year-old woman in the movie business, right? Pretty soon the roles you're offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop. I have to hedge against that with work-theater, producing; this thing with Esquire."

In the same interview, the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star also compares her relationship with Reynolds to her romance with Dauriac. "I didn't think I was a jealous person until I started dating my current, my one-and-only," Johansson reveals. "I think maybe in the past I didn't have the same kind of investment. Not that I liked my partner less, I just wasn't capable of it or caring that much."

The November issue of Esquire hits newsstands Oct. 15. Previous Sexiest Women Alive include Mila Kunis (2012), Rihanna (2011), Minka Kelly (2010), Kate Bekinsale (2009),Halle Berry (2008), Charlize Theron (2007) and Jessica Biel (2005).
