Marvel fans are up in arms, and it’s for a good reason. Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner were on the promotions tour for Avengers: Age of Ultron when a reporter from Digital Spy asked them about “shipping” within the franchise, or “support of a romantic pairing between two characters in a fictional series,” particularly with Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character.

“She’s a slut,” Jeremy Renner said immediately, and Evans burst into hysterics.

“I was gonna say something along that line,” he laughed. “She’s a complete whore.” Renner would also scoff at Black Widow’s prosthetic leg, hinting at its undesirability.

Why you should care about The Boston Film Festival
Movies

This weekend, The Boston Film Festival returns, launching tonight at Theatre 1 at the Revere Hotel in Boston (five must-see films here). But this isn’t grandma’s film festival, where you stand in line in the freezing cold to see the latest indie darlings (cough, Sundance) or try to get a look at a summer blockbuster or two while catching Sundance’s scraps (cough cough, Tribeca) or catch celebs who show up to promote their films as they hope to take home Oscar gold (well, that means you, Toronto).
