Welcome to the Legion!

Scarlett Johansson hosted Saturday Night Live last night and was part of arguably the best skit in recent weeks. Spoofing Marvel’s lack of female-fronted superhero movies, they did a trailer for Black Widow: Age of Me, a Black Widow rom com. It’s damn funny, but the best part of the entire thing was the shots of the Marvel logo with “Marvel: We Know Girls” and “Does Marvel Not Know How to Make a Girl Superhero Movie?”

Check it out below. #WheresNatasha, anyone? When Mark Ruffalo, a.k.a. The Hulk has to tweet about the lack of Black Widow toys and SNL has to make fun of the lack of female superheroes, shouldn’t that tell the studios something?
