Patty Jenkins comments to The Toronto Sun regarding Joss Whedon’s work with female superheroes is mostly in reference to his depiction of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch from the Avengers films, however you also can’t help but think of Buffy The Vampire Slayer when Joss Whedon is mentioned.
Whedon hasn’t always been praised for his depiction of female superheroes, though.
In fact, he previously came in for criticism after the release of Age Of Ultron, as some viewers believed Black Widow called herself a “monster ” in the film because she was unable to conceive, but Whedon later clarified it was because she was an assassin.
