While reading Scarlett Johansson’s recent Huffington Post posting, I couldn’t help feeling more optimistic about her upcoming role as the Black Widow. Normally I’m not a comic book or cosplay fan, but when the character’s done right or the costume is tasty enough, I’ll sometimes even go see the movie on the wide screen with my husband, 3XL and Latex Kitty. If Scarlett’s costume is done right, I may even make it to this one!
Personally I think Ms Johansson would already look amazing in a latex catsuit, but I guess filmakers are pickier than latex fiends, or something. ;-)

I would think the challenge for a designer in a film is to come up with something that looks unique and not trite. A basic catsuit may be what pervs groove on, but it’s not something to brand a character with and we know that these characters are identified with their unique look. They don’t want to select a look that’s been seen on 1000’s of web sites and something 10 of thousands of people already own and wear.
So they have to accessories it and do it up somehow and that is where they can make or break it as a fetish design.
I don’t know the character but she probably already is identified with some look already as well. This could be interesting to see how they do it.
LatexGirlsHD’s weblog speculates that this might be one of the latex costumes Syren hinted at our interview last month
