The actress also had to be very careful about what she shared with her husband about her day while filming the Marvel movie.
At the end of a long day battling deadly assassins, fighting in a leather jacket, and speeding across England on a motorcycle, it would probably be nice to come home and tell your partner about it.
That was only a partial option for Scarlett Johansson, whose husband, Saturday Night Live Weekend Update coanchor Colin Jost, only wanted limited details about her days filming Marvel’s Black Widow when she came home.
Johansson exposed Jost’s spoiler over-caution during a recent interview on The Jess Cagle Show on Sirius XM, telling the host how their evening conversations went following a long day of work for both of them in London.
“When we were shooting this film in London, Colin was also there – he was shooting Tom and Jerry – which worked out great because we were together in the same city for a long time, which is rare,” the actress said. “And if I was in the middle of a big action set piece or sequence or whatever, he couldn’t hear – he was just not wanting to hear anything – anything – about it, anything about the details – of course he wants to know, ‘How was your day?’ but as soon as it was like, ‘Can you read this scene with [me]?’ he was like, ‘Am I gonna get any spoilers?'”
Before Jost helped his wife out, it seems he asked for warnings (presumably rather than finding them out for the first time when reading something out loud).
“He wanted to know ‘spoiler alert’ before we read lines together. Can you believe that?” Johansson laughed.
Johansson and Jost tied the knot last October, announcing their nuptials via Meals on Wheels’ Instagram account.

Scarlett Johansson will receive the 35th annual American Cinematheque Award gala and tribute at the Beverly Hilton on Nov. 18.
American Cinematheque chair Rick Nicita said Johansson’s career embodies the essence of the prestigious award.
“Her immense talent has shone brightly from her movie debut as a child through her emergence as a megastar of blockbusters,” Nicita said in a statement Tuesday morning. “She has acted in adventurous independent films with cutting-edge directors. She has starred in the most commercial of franchises. She has taken leading roles and supporting roles in movies budgeted big and small. Whenever she graces the screen with her luminous presence, the audience knows that they will see a dedicated artist at the height of her powers. We can’t wait to share in the next phase of Scarlett Johansson’s marvelous career.”
A New York native, Johansson made her professional acting debut at the age of eight in the off-Broadway production of “Sophistry” alongside Ethan Hawke. She has since appeared in an array of successful blockbuster franchises, most notably in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow. First appearing in “Iron Man 2” alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle in 2010, Johansson went on to star in the two “Captain America” sequels and all four “Avengers” films. She will make her eighth and presumably final appearance as the titular superhero in her long-awaited solo film “Black Widow.”
Johansson received critical acclaim for her role as Nicole Barber in “Marriage Story” and her supporting role as Rozie Betzler in “Jojo Rabbit.” She received nominations for an Oscar, Screen Actors Guild Award and a BAFTA Award for her roles in both 2019 films. Other notable credits include “Lucy,” “Under the Skin,” “Ghost in the Shell,” “Isle of Dogs,” “Her,” “The Horse Whisperer,” “Manny & Lo,” “Hail, Caesar!,” “The Jungle Book,” “Chef,” “Don Jon” and “Hitchcock.”
