The Best Black Widow And Hulk Scenes In The MCU Ranked

Another Hulk and Black Widow scene that we simply adore comes early in Age of Ultron. After cleaning out a HYDRA base and recovering Loki's scepter, the Avengers are celebrating at Stark's pad. Natasha is pouring some drinks behind the bar, and Bruce walks up to her, initiating some flirty film noir roleplay.

Bruce asks, "How'd a nice girl like you wind up working in a dump like this?" Without missing a beat, Natasha says, "Fella done me wrong." Then Bruce says, "You got lousy taste in men, kid," and Natasha responds, "He's not so bad. He has a temper. Deep down he's all fluff." As their flirtation continues, Natasha essentially confesses that she has feelings for Bruce and tries to get a sense of whether or not he feels the same way. However, Bruce, being a huge dork, is less skilled at this sort of banter, and he fails to give Nat the answer she's looking for.

This moment is a big shift in their relationship, when their simmering romance officially transitions from subtext to text. Though this romantic pairing took many audiences by surprise during their initial viewing of this film, looking back on it now with hindsight, it's a genuinely great little interaction. The two have some real chemistry, and it's nice to see these two usually somber characters having a little fun. Also, it's a little thing, but we love the fact that Widow, being a veteran superspy, is way better at flirty roleplaying than the awkward and uptight Banner. All in all, this scene is a delight.
