She stated that she did not want it to be an espionage story. She did not want it to feel superficial at all. Scarlett only wanted to do it if it actually fit where she was with that character. She had spent such a long time peeling those layers away and felt that unless they got to something deep, then there was no reason to make it.
Talking ahead Scarlett Johansson mentioned that because she did her job in Endgame, and actually felt satisfied with that. She would have been happy to let that be it. So there had to be a reason to do it other than just to milk something.

She mentioned that the movie will deal with self-doubt and insecurity and shame and disappointment and regret and all that stuff too. It has many different things; it is not just that.
