Stephen Dorff Apologizes To Scarlet Johannsson Over ‘Black Widow’ Slam

Stephen Dorff seems to have had a recent shift in his conscience, as he is now down to apologize to the Marvel star Scarlet Johannsson over his comments on her new flick and latest Marvel movie “Black Widow.”

The actor opened up to TMZ and revealed to them that while he had meant one thing, his words were taken out of context and twisted into something he didn’t mean at all.

In an interview with The Independent, the former Marvel actor for the 1998 flick Blade had quite a lot to say about Black Widow, and even if put in context, they don’t sound all that positive.

I still hunt out the good s–t because I don’t want to be in ‘Black Widow.’ [‘Black Widow’] looks like garbage to me. It looks like a bad video game. I’m embarrassed for those people. I’m embarrassed for Scarlett. I’m sure she got paid 5, 7 million bucks, but I’m embarrassed for her.

However, after his comments on the film and Johannsson’s role in it went viral, he wrote her an apology note. The actor told TMZ:

I love Scarlett. [She’s] a great actress. I heard she’s going to be a mom, so I wish her the best, and she’s an old friend of mine, so I felt bad about that comment.

It seems that the actor definitely didn’t mean all the things he did, or at least didn’t want them to go public. The actor recently sung his praises for Mahershah Ali starring in the new Blade reboot, so we know that he does not mean ill-intent.
